Two-factor authentication is important & necessary, but a real pain in the butt. \u00a0This new process by Google is a breeze! I enabled and in a few seconds had authenticated with a press of a button on my phone. Get on it people!<\/p>\n
When it comes to data breaches of major online services like LinkedIn, MySpace, Twitter and VK.com, it’s two-factor authentication that could save you from being hacked.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Two-factor authentication or 2-step verification is an effective way to secure online accounts, but many users avoid enabling the feature just to save themselves from irritation of receiving and typing a six-digit code that takes their 10 to 15 extra seconds.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Now, Google has made the 2-Step Verification (2FV) process much easier for its users, allowing you to login with just a single tap instead of typing codes.<\/p>\n
Previously, you have had to manually enter a six-digit code received via an SMS or from an authenticator app, but now\u2026<\/p>\n
Google has introduced<\/a> a new method called “Google Prompt<\/b>” that uses a simple push notification where you just have to tap on your mobile phone to approve login requests.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
