Google Confirms They Are Testing Password-Free Logins.

Google was testing out some kind of new login feature where you would not require a password. Given that passwords can sometimes be easily figured out, like birth dates, names of loved ones, a phone number, and etc., this seemed like a good idea. The only problem was we couldn’t be sure it was real.
The good news is that according to a post by Android Police, it seems that Google has confirmed to them that they are testing out this feature. In a statement provided to Android Police, Google said, “We’ve invited a small group of users to help test a new way to sign in to their Google accounts, no password required. ‘Pizza’, ‘password’ and ‘123456’—your days are numbered.”Google also points out that this feature is being tested on both Android and iOS devices, so don’t let the Android screenshots fool you as iOS users who were selected can get in on the fun as well. Unfortunately Google did not state when they will roll out this feature in earnest, or if at all, but it is worth looking forward to.
For those unfamiliar with how it works, basically you’ll have to link your smartphone with your Google account. When you enter your email address to log into any Google website, you will be notified on your phone asking if it is really you trying to log in.
