Due to the increase in data breaches and the account hacks, it has been a tough time for everyone to secure their account from breaches. One of the solution exists till now is 2 factor authentication. Recently Google has made this 2 factor authentication a lot easier one.
Many finds it difficult to use 2 factor authentication since it takes 10 to 15 seconds extra and also some other problems with devices. There is also an other way around to use Google Authenticator application that will generate the code everytime similar to RSA token.
Now, Google made it very easier, all the user have to do is to just tap. Whenever the 2 factor authentication has been in effect, a popup message will arrive, just tap the message to sign-in. It is the pop up message through notification.
To enable this feature login to the account and just enable 2 factor authentication and then select the "#Google Prompt" in the second dialog box and then provide the phone number from which the account has to be authenticated.
Requirement for this feature to work is, if you own an Android device then updation of Google Play Store will do good. In case of iPhone, Google search application is needed and it should be signed in with the same account to use #Google Prompt.
P.S: The post is to create awareness and not to be missued.
