Google Brings Prompt as another option for Two-Step Verification for Android,iOS and Web

Technology giant Google has been advising on 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 have to update Google Play Services. Google says that the new feature is being rolled out gradually and may "potentially take longer than 3 days for feature visibility."

Here’s how to do it:

• Go to the Google’s account page.
• Navigate to Sign-in & Security.
• Click the Signing in to Google button.
• And select 2-step verification option.

Once enabled, if you try to login into a Google account you’ll be receiving a simple “yes” or “no” prompt on your device; tap on “yes” and it’s done, your login will get verified.

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.
