Google prompt feature will be available to Android & iOS users.
The feature is gradually rolling out to all users.
Google prompt feature will make it easier for users to sign-in.
Several technology giants including Google, Apple, Microsoft, and
Facebook among others advise two-step verification for additional
security of user accounts. For those who still don't use two-step
verification, we recommend you enable the security feature following
these simple steps. Now, Google is introducing a new prompt feature to simplify its
two-step verification process to make it easier to sign-in for Android
and iOS users.
While the new prompt feature in two-step
verification will be available to Android as well as iOS users, Google points out
that iOS users will need the Google Search app installed on their phone
to use Google prompt. Android users will get the feature will a Google
Play Services update. Google says that the new feature is being rolled
out gradually and may "potentially take longer than 3 days for feature
visibility."
Google says with the new feature, users will now only
need to approve the prompt that will pop up on their phone to complete
the two-step verification process and sign in. The prompt will show a
message saying, "Are you trying to sign-in?" followed by details of the
device and the location of the device on which the sign-in is being
attempted. Users will get two options under prompt - No, deny sign-in
and Yes, allow sign-in. Previously, the two-step verification required
the users to sign-in by either providing a security key or entering the
verification code that was sent to the user on the phone or email.
The
search engine giant says that starting Monday users can still choose
any of the three earlier options, a confirmation email, a confirmation
SMS, or a security key, apart from the new prompt option from their My
Account page. The options are accessible in the Google app by navigating
to My Account > Sign-in & Security > Signing in to Google
> 2-Step Verification. The company says that the Help Centre page
will be updated soon with detailed instructions.
Currently, users
cannot have both security keys and Google prompt enabled at the same
time. The Google prompt feature will also need an active data
connection.
