Google has launched a new feature called “Google Identity Services” that allows users to log in to their accounts without a password. The new feature will enable users to authenticate themselves using their Android or iOS smartphone as a security key. It is a more secure method of authentication that is also more convenient for users.
When users try to log in to their Google accounts, they will receive a notification on their smartphone asking them to confirm that they are trying to log in. The notification will display the account name, the device attempting to log in, and the location of the login attempt. Users can confirm that it is them by tapping the notification on their smartphone.
The new feature is available to all Google users, but it requires an Android or iOS smartphone with Google’s Smart Lock app installed. Users will also need to have a compatible browser, such as Google Chrome, to use the feature. The feature is designed to work with most modern Android and iOS devices, but it may not work with older devices or devices that do not support the required security features.
