Google 推動預設兩步驟認證的決定看來收效甚佳。根據其日前發佈的部落格文章所寫,在自動啟用了該功能的用戶群中,帳戶遭駭的情況已經較過去減少了一半。雖然官方未公開被駭帳戶的具體數字,但這樣的成績在 Google 看來已經足夠證明額外的步驟認證是「有效」的了。對於接下來這項功能的普及速度,Google 亦沒有做出預期,不過他們承諾會在 2022 年繼續大力推廣。目前預設啟用兩步驟認證的使用者已超過了 1.5 億,其中包括超過 200 萬的 YouTube 創作者。

除此之外,為迎接網路安全日(Safer Internet Day),從 3 月起 Google 會為用戶新增一個帳戶級的安全瀏覽選項,幫助你避開已知的惡意網站。他們還會在未來幾個月中把助理功能訪客模式的支援語言增加到 9 種,並且承諾會在美國中期選舉前加強對政治相關「高風險」用戶的保護力度。
