\nNowadays, it\u2019s all about 2FA (2-Factor Authentication). This requires you to go through multiple steps of authentication if you want to sign in to a service. Many of us use authenticator apps that give us a six-digit code. As for Google, if you sign in to an unrecognized device, you\u2019ll need to press the Yes, it\u2019s me button on one of your devices. Sometimes, you\u2019ll need to tap on the number that Google shows you.
\nHowever, Signing in to Google will get even more secure
\nThis is something that seems to be coming to people gradually. As discovered in version 25.02.34\u00a0of Google Play Services, there\u2019s another level of authentication that you have to go through if you want to sign in to your account.
\nJust like usual, you\u2019ll get the popup asking if it\u2019s really you trying to sign in. However, after you tap the\u00a0Yes, it\u2019s me button, you\u2019ll then see a prompt to scan your fingerprint, PIN, or pattern. You\u2019ll also be able to use your passkeys.
\nWhile this does add an additional step to logging in to your account, you can\u2019t argue with extra security. If someone tries to log in to your Google account using one of your phones, they\u2019ll need to either have their fingerprint stored in your phone or know your PIN. It\u2019s just another thing that makes your Android phone that much more secure.
\nSince it popped up in the latest version of Google Play Services, it\u2019s not a server-side update. So, you should be able to use it when you update Google Play Services.
