Google turns to codeless tap factor authenticaton
Google has set up an easier two factor authentication system to allow staff to login with a tap instead of codes.
The Prompt feature is available to Google users and will allow them to sign into Mountain View services more easily than copying codes from its time-based Authentication app.
Users will need to apply a screen lock before Google will allow the one-tap verification to be activated. Initial tests indicate that Prompt may still work if screen lock is activated for setup and later deactivated.
