It’s nice to see a company like Google prioritizing privacy and safety. 2 step verification will be turned on by default. Whether you’re using iOS or Android, just one tap on your phone will authorize sign-in. No need for six-digit codes.
To keep your Google account safe, Google has also added a safety status on your profile picture. If anything needs immediate attention, this can be a quick way of showing you.
(Fun fact: Google was the first consumer technology company to offer 2-step verification)
