Google will not allow users to log in without enabling two-step verification

In a bid to boost the security and privacy of users, Google will start enrolling users in two-factor authentication by default. Google will start enrolling users for two-step verification automatically if their accounts are appropriately configured. Using their mobile device to sign in gives people a safer and more secure authentication experience than passwords alone,” Mark Risher, Director of Product Management, said in a Google blog post. On the occasion of World Password Day, Google wants more users to signup for the two-step verification process. Google will start sending prompts to its two billion Gmail users to enroll for the process, but it will soon start adding users in two-step verification.
