There will be a big change in Gmail, problems such as account hacking will receive relief!
Google soon plans to delete two -factor authentication based on SMS for Gmail accounts. According to a report of Forbes, the company is preparing to adopt rather a verification system based on the QR code. A Google spokesperson says that just as the company replaces passwords with passwords, plans are also made to get rid of SMS messages. The company believes that these steps will help reduce the risk and fraud of SMS related to SMS.
The report indicates that according to Google, the SMS codes are delivered with many safety challenges. The spokesperson Ross Richendrfer and his colleague Kimberly Samra told the publication that SMS codes can be easily of fish, users do not always keep access to the device to which the code has been sent and that their safety depends on the benefits of the major. Richendrfer also said that if a fraudster can easily control someone’s phone number, the SMS security value ends.
Google uses SMS verification for two milestones. Security and abuse control. The first objective is to ensure that the user is the person who already used an account and secondly to stop these thousands of Gmail accounts could not create in cheating.
Strong fraud associated with the SMS codes that Google has recently identified is the pumping of traffic. It is also called the inflation of ocean traffic and toll fraud. According to Google, this happens when fraudsters motivate online service providers to send large -scale bulk SMS and earn money for each SMS delivered. Due to such fraud, Google also plans to eliminate SMS -based authentication.
