Access Google Workspace on Your Mobile Device

Hands holding phones

Previously, setting up your TMU Google Workspace account on a mobile device required use of a Google token, a separate password. This is no longer the case. Mobile device setup can be done simply using your TMU username, password, and your two-factor authentication method if you have configured this for Google Workspace.

In addition, you can access Google Workspace services using mobile apps. Download and install Google Workspace apps (external link, opens in new window)  from the Google Play Store (Android devices) or the App Store (iOS devices).
