In a bid to make user experience more secure, Google 2-step verification will soon be a default feature for all its users.

In a blog post Thursday — timed to align with the World Password Day, May 6 — Google’s security chief Mark Risher paints a future that’s entirely password-free.  

“You may not realise it, but passwords are the single biggest threat to your online security – they’re easy to steal, they’re hard to remember, and managing them is tedious,” he writes. Google has developed tools, such as the Password Manager, that make handling hard-to-remember passwords easier — to the point where you never need to know your passwords by heart. 

Soon we’ll start automatically enrolling users in 2SV if their accounts are appropriately configured,” writes Risher.

Users can later turn-off Google 2-step verification
