Notifying Android users natively when devices are added to their account to keep them secure
BenefitsNow users are quickly notified on multiple devices when a new device has been added.This increases transparency to the user of what actions they've performed and allows them to flag any suspicious activity they may be seeing on the device.We've also found that with Android notifications, users are up to four times as likely to review the information as compared to email notifications.
Android will now send push notifications when new devices are added to your account
Google today rolled out a new feature for Android users designed to keep their accounts more secure: notifications about newly added devices.That is, when a new device is added to your Google account, you'll receive a push notification on your current Android device about the security event.The notification will ask, "Did you just sign in?" If the activity appears suspicious, you'll then be able to take immediate action.
Android will tell you when new devices access your Google account
If you have a Google account, few things are more disconcerting than getting a notice that an unfamiliar device just got access... especially when you only got the notice while checking your email considerably later.You might not miss that vital heads-up after today, though.Google is introducing native Android notifications that pop up whenever a new device accesses your account, giving you a chance to change your password before an intruder goes on a shopping spree using your credentials.
