If you are sophisticated that Blogger Blogs cannot be hacked or destroyed then you are letting your security down big-time. Though, Blogger is the property of Google it doesn’t mean that it cannot be hacked because Hackers can easily get into your Password without any difficulty.

It is the kind of functionality which confirms twice whether it is the true owner of a blog or an unwanted personality is trying to access the account illegally. Normally passwords can be cracked because peoples are too lazy to change their passwords even if they receive a security warning. Well, 2-Step Verification is the perfect solution of that. For instance, the hacker knows your Blogger Username and Passwords even then they cannot get into your account, because they won’t have a time limited random security code (provided by Google Authenticator). Since, Your Blog is directly linked to your mobile so whenever somebody attempt to login into your account it send a unique verification code to your preferred mobile number.
