Google has enabled 2SV for more than 150 million users and over 2 million YouTube creators

before the end of the year in order to increase their security.

According to Google, the 50% drop in compromised accounts proves how beneficial it is to use a second form of verification and how effective it is in protecting your account and all the valuable personal information that is contained within it. Google also stated that it would continue with the 2SV auto activations in 2022.

In its announcement, Google said that it is working on the implementation of security keys, which would offer a 'safer and more convenient' way to sign in. According to Google, the use of security keys will eliminate the need to use a password in order to sign in to your account. Also, because they offer the best sign-in security, Google makes Android phones and has made its Google Smart Lock app for iPhones and iPads compatible with this new technology.

: Google's Security Checkup might suggest specific actions for you to improve the security of your profile. You can also use Security Checkup to set up a recovery email or phone number and see which apps have access to your account, your security activity, as well as the number of devices on which you are logged in.: If your password is compromised, 2SV may protect your account and personal data because it will add an additional step in the log-in process.
