The Google spokesperson told VentureBeat- we have invited a small group of users to help test a new way to sign-in to their Google accounts, no password required.
The no-password feature is still in process of testing stages and believed to allow users to log into their accounts using their smartphones. When you will log from a different location,like friend's laptop or a PC,instead of inputting a password, the feature will apparently prompt users by pinging their smartphones.The notification, once addressed, will act as an identity confirmation, allowing users access to their accounts on unfamiliar systems.
Google's planned feature was experienced by a reddit user, Rohit Paul, who was among the few to receive an invitation from Google to test the new password free login feature.
In his reddit account, Paul wrote: 'you authorize the phone to allow you to login to your account. You go into a computer and type in your E-mail, then you get a message on your phone to allow the login.If you hit yes, the computer logs into your Google account without password.
He also included screenshots of the entire procedure, which shows the prompts Google provide before allowing access to user accounts. Paul provided two screenshots which are below:
Google declared that this feature will be available for both android and iOS users.However users will be allowed the option to retain the more traditional method of logging in via a password. Google claims that the new feature will give it a much- needed edge in the fight against phishing.
In the beginning of this year,Google introduced the chrome extension 'password alert' that warns users about malicious websites attempting to imitate Google accounts to steal the data and sensitive information. In October,this year yahoo rolled out with a similar feature,to read about Yahoo's password free login features
