According to 91mobiles reports, earlier this year, Google stated that it would automatically enable two-factor authentication (2SV) for configured accounts. This week, the technology giant gave a clearer explanation on this point.
Google revealed that by the end of 2021, 150 million users will be automatically registered for 2SV. Google still firmly believes that 2SV is one of the most reliable ways to eliminate illegal access to accounts and networks.
In addition, by the end of this year, 2 million YouTube creators will be forced to use 2SV. The Google Android app menu will also get a new section for access to all saved passwords. Google revealed through a blog post that it plans to force more users to use 2SV before the end of the year. This basically means that the account holder must pass additional verification steps, including phone calls, emails, or security keys.

Google said it has cooperated with various organizations to provide more than 10,000 security keys to most high-risk users by the end of the year. Google also said that in addition to 2SV, they are researching more methods so that users can obtain a secure authentication experience and reduce reliance on passwords.
