Google recently added a number of features that make it much easier to log into their apps and services on iOS devices. Specifically, Google is expanding its ability to use Android phones as a physical two-factor authentication key with support for both iOS devices (the feature was launched earlier in April, but works only with Chrome OS, macOS or Windows 10).

In other words, the company will take advantage of the new security key feature in Android to allow users to use their own Android phone to log into Google services on the iOS platform.

More specifically, when you sign in to your Google account on an iOS device, the app will ping your Android phone via Bluetooth. After that, you can confirm that you are trying to log in on your Android device, relay that information back to your iOS device and allow logging in.
