Concerned about securing your online accounts and preventing unwanted access? Google have improved their online security again this week by adding a physical USB option to their two-step verification process.
Instead of typing in a code, such as the ones that you can have sent to your phone for the second login stage, the new Security Key feature will allow you to insert a USB drive into your computer. Just pop the drive into a USB port when prompted, click Google Chrome when prompted and you’re good to go.
The new system is free of charge for all Google accounts, but you will need to ensure you have a compatible USB device. These can be purchased from a Universal 2nd Factor (U2F) participating vendor.
