Google Accounts Get New Verification Feature - mothered - 04-27-2018

Greetings everyone,

Google has Implemented a new verification feature that helps prevent phishing attacks, which will be In effect In a little over a week from now. It's a shame the feature Is limited to those using Google Chrome, third-party logins and G Suite services. Nonetheless, a step In the right direction which (I hope) will eventually accommodate a diverse branch of users and organizations.

To be honest, something as simple as this, should've been Introduced years ago.

Spoiler:

Quote:In an update on its G Suite blog, Google announced the other day a new security feature for Google account holders who also happen to rely on Chrome for their web browsing activities.

Google wants to improve the security of your Google account by verifying that you’re indeed looking to sign into a Google account that you control. The move is meant to prevent anyone from silently signing into a Google account that may be owned by a malicious third party.

After signing in on a SAML provider’s website, you’ll see a new screen from accounts.google.com that will ask you whether you recognize the Google account you’re about to sign in. If the Google account is yours, then you can proceed with the sign-in. If it isn’t, then you’re probably want to investigate the matter, as it means someone might be trying to fool you into signing into a different Google account that should have no access to those services.
