Google plans to move 150 million users and two million YouTube creators to two-factor authentication by the end of 2021.
According to the company’s blog, this was revealed particularly during cybersecurity awareness month (Cybersecurity Awareness Month). 2SV is a fundamental Google security rule. For our users today, we’ve made it seamless. A Google question displays, prompting you to just tap your mobile device to verify that you’re trying to sign in.
According to Google, the authentication procedure has been streamlined, and the phone number will no longer be required to input the notification code; instead, confirming the account’s ownership through notification will suffice. In addition to a password or PIN, two-factor authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of protection. For re-protection, an element of ownership, such as a phone number, is usually utilized.
That is, Google 2FA will require your phone number in order for the service to verify that the account belongs to the account’s owner. At the same time, if someone tries to hijack your account, the user will receive notifications on their phone.
