    Google Smart Lock on iOS

    Being secure online is very important to keep hackers and cyber thieves from accessing sensitive information. To be safe online, we use strong passwords, enable two-factor authorization, always use secure networks and do more necessary things. And to access your Google account safely on your iPhone/iPad, Google released an app called Google Smart Lock. It is more like two-factor authentication but with a different (physical) key, and the app works only with Google accounts. When you want to log in to your Google account on Mac or other iOS devices with the Google Smart Lock app, you have to tap on a confirmation box on your iPhone. You need an iPhone with iOS 10.0 and later to use the Google Smart Lock option. Learn how to install and use Google Smart Lock on your iOS device from the below section.
