With that in mind, we’re now making Google prompt the first choice when users turn on 2SV (previously, SMS was the primary choice). Once 2SV is enabled, users will still have the option to set up SMS, the Google Authenticator app, or backup codes as their alternative second step.
This will only impact users who have not yet set up 2SV. Current 2SV users' settings will be unaffected. In addition, if a user attempts to set up 2SV but doesn’t have a compatible mobile device, he or she will be prompted to use SMS as their authentication method instead.
A data connection is required to use Google prompt.
Users with iOS devices will need to install the Google app in order to use Google prompt.
G Suite Enterprise domains can choose to enforce Security Keys to meet more advanced security requirements. (At this time, however, Google Prompt won’t work on accounts with Security Keys.)
Launch Details Release track: Launching to both Rapid Release and Scheduled Release
