Although Google provides users with some solutions to securely log into their accounts, such as 2-factor authentication on Android devices, Titan Security Key 2-layer security, and Google Prompt, refer to how to verify 2 steps on Gmail with Google Prompt here. However, the search giant still has to admit that attackers can apply advanced steps like fake login pages to bypass those security methods.
As part of the effort to enhance user account security, today Google has introduced a new method, allowing users to 'transform' their Android devices into physical security keys. This means users don't need to pay to purchase separate security keys, but only need a phone running Android 7.0 Nougat or higher.
To use this new security feature, first log in to your Google account on your Android phone (if not already logged in). Then open the Chrome browser on Chrome OS, macOS, or Windows 10 computer with Bluetooth support, access 2-step verification settings, where you will be prompted to click on the 'Add security key' option.
Note, Bluetooth on both mobile devices and computers must be activated before selecting your Android device from the list of available devices.
Essentially, this method operates similarly to Google Prompt, leveraging the Internet connection between an Android phone and Google services. The key difference lies in the enhanced security feature utilizing Bluetooth connection for safer login. Consequently, this also implies that the Android device must be placed near the computer for successful login.

Currently, this feature is in the testing phase and only available to Android users using the Chrome web browser. There is no information yet on whether Google will support this feature for other web browsers besides Chrome.
