Apart from this, Google recently announced that Google is going to add more than 150 million users into two-factor authentication. The American tech giant has confirmed that they will auto-enroll these 150 million additional users for 2SV  by the end of 2021.

More details about this security process are supposed to release soon. Till then keep an eye out for any updates on Google's official website.
