Google is making two-step verification less annoying

Logging into Google should be a lot faster and less irritating using one-tap push notifications instead of fiddly codes to verify your username and password

Using two-step authentication, normally a code from an app or texted to you, is a crucial, but highly irritating, part of logging into all manner of things.

From banking, Facebook, Twitter, Apple and Yahoo to World of Warcraft, Steam and Xbox Live, two-step authentication is seen as the way to make our insecure username and password system slightly safer.
