Dual authentication is a very convenient way to improve the security of an online account. Google has been pushing for many years now to popularize the dual authentication that is available on most major online services. This is to add a second authentication criterion in addition to the login and password couple, for example by activating a notification or by entering a code sent by SMS, mail or generated on your smartphone.

It is strongly recommended that dual authentication be enabled on as many services as possible. To go further, Google will automatically activate this option.

Automatic and mandatory reinforcement

As of November 9, 2021, double authentication will be activated automatically by Google on all online accounts. For this, it is assumed that the company will enable the smartphone notification option on each device where a Google account is configured.

Of course, the best way to prepare for it is to activate it yourself now, before the deadline.

If Google has taken some lead on the subject of dual authentication. It should be noted that Microsoft has recently gone further by offering the possibility of logging in without a password to its account and then completely deleting the password associated with its Microsoft account. Google has also embarked on this path, but has not yet deployed this option.
