Google Allows G Suite Users to Log In With Security Codes
#1
Quote:Google on Tuesday announced that G Suite users can now log in on platforms that don’t directly support security keys using security codes generated by their security keys.
 
Security keys, which are two-factor authentication (2FA) devices, are considered highly efficient for protecting accounts against phishing and other types of threats. However, they often don’t work on legacy platforms that do not support FIDO protocols or applications such as Internet Explorer, Safari and iOS apps.
 
G Suite administrators and end users can now use their security keys to log in on platforms that cannot communicate with a security key directly. If the new feature is enabled, users will see a “Having trouble” or “Try another way” option on the 2-step verification (2SV) page. If they select one of these options, they will be allowed to either use their security key directly (if supported) or obtain a one-time security code that they can use to log in.
 
The security code process involves connecting the security key to a compatible system and visiting a specific URL from where they can obtain the one-time code that must be entered in the uncompatible service.
