Enhanced Security Features by Google
Google is introducing new security features for Google Messages and standard Google accounts, aiming to provide an extra layer of protection for users and assist with account lockouts.
Trusted Contacts Feature
This feature enables users to select trusted friends or family members who can help in case of an account lockout, without granting them access to the account.
These new features are intended to add an extra layer of protection for users, but also help you should you ever find yourself getting locked out of your Google account.
