Google this week revealed that it's working on redesigning the security alerts for Google accounts and that it will make them available directly in the applications users are logged into.
The company has already built numerous protections into Google accounts and other Google products, with Safe Browsing delivering protection for over 4 billion devices, Gmail blocking in excess of 100 million daily phishing attempts, and Google Play Protect scanning more than 100 billion apps per day.
Since 2015, notifications regarding critical issues in Google accounts are delivered to Android devices, and Google says that an increasing number of users has been engaging with these alerts within one hour after receiving them.
"Soon we'll be introducing a redesigned critical alert and a new way of delivering it. When we detect a serious Google Account security issue, we'll automatically display an alert within the Google app you're using and help you address it-no need to check email or your phone's alerts," Google says.
Google is also rolling out new security and privacy protections for Google Workplace, along with updated password protections in Chrome.
