Google Account

OCC works with the free nonprofit version of Google Workspace. Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) is a suite of web applications created by Google for organisations. Your OCC Google Workspace account will give you access to Gmail domain and 30GB of Google Drive storage. Through G Suite, you will also have access to a number of powerful Google applications: Calendar, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Forms, Sites, Meets, and Chats.

How to start?

The technical administrator of OCC will create an account for you once you have filled this form to register as an OCC member. You will get an email to your personal email address to login. You can also login to your account by clicking here.

What is 2-step verification?

With 2-Step Verification (also known as two-factor authentication), you add an extra layer of security to your account in case your password is stolen. After you set up 2-Step Verification, you’ll sign in to your account in two steps using:

  • Something you know, like your password

  • Something you have, like your phone

What if I cannot login anymore?

If you forgot your password and you are not able to recover it, or if you have lost your phone or changed your phone number and are not able to use 2-step verification, you need to contact our technical administrator. He can reset your password and/or give you a 'backup code' to reset your 2-step verification to a new phone number.

In case you received a backup code from the system administrator, you need to follow the following steps to login again and renew your phone number:

First, login using the backup code:

  1. Type in your OCC email address and click 'Next'

  2. Fill in your password and click 'Next'

  3. Now it will ask for the 2-step verification - click on 'Try another way'

  4. You will get various options - click on 'Enter one of your 8-digit backup codes'

  5. Fill in the backup code you received and click on 'Next'

  6. You are now asked to fill a new password - please fill a new, strong password

Now, change your phone number:

  1. Go to your Google Account Security settings over here

  2. Click on the above option 'Voice or text message'

  3. Click on 'Change phone' and follow the steps to replace the phone number
