You can now use your iPhone as physical Google security key; How to use, What it is and more
Google has released a new update for its Smart Lock app for iOS, which now allows users to use their iPhone as a physical security key to access Google services via Chrome. The new update reads, “With this new update, you can now set up your phone’s built-in security key, the best second-factor protection for your Google Account.” Using a physical key will enable more privacy and security as it is easier for hackers to access a user’s security key, much like passwords. According to Google cryptographer Filippo Valsorda, Google Smart Lock makes use of an iPhone’s Secure Enclave to convert it into a physical security key. There are simple steps to go about: First, download the Google Smart Lock app via the App Store Select your Google account and set up Bluetooth and notification permissions Log in to your Google account, select your iPhone as your security key, and you are done Once the iPhone is selected, you will have to connect it with your laptop via Bluetooth You will get a notification on your iPhone, unlock it, tap a button in the Smart Lock app, and the login process gets completed Latest technology news
