Android Will Alert You When A New Device Logs-in Your Google Account

Google has rolled out a new feature for Android users to keep its users account more secure: Native Android Push Notification when a new device accesses your Google account.

Google has already been offering email notification for newly added devices, but since people usually ignore emails, the tech giant will now send a push notification to your device screen, giving you a chance to change your password immediately before an intruder gets in.

Although it's a little change, the company believes people pay four times more attention on push notifications on their devices compared to email notification.
The new feature "increases transparency to the user of what actions they've performed and allows them to flag any suspicious activity they may be seeing on the device," the company says in its official blog post.
So, from now on, when a new device is added to your Google account, or, in other words, when a new device accesses your account, you will receive a push notification on your current Android device, asking:

"Did you just sign in?"

If yes, you can just ignore the notification. But if the activity appears suspicious, you just have to tap the "Review account activity" button to know about the details of the new device.

You can immediately change your password and add two-factor authorization (2FA) if you are worried someone else has accessed your account.

The new feature is rolling out to users gradually, and it may take over two weeks to reach all the users across the world.

10 things web developers must know to become truly amazing

10 things web developers must know to become truly amazing It's not just about the code. We need bigger devs, says Dan Frost of 3EV, and comes up with a list of skills the best developers should have. Developers need to be more than code-generating grunt workers. We're expecting more of our digital life and it's these guys who build it, so what do the best devs need to know? Here are the things I see missing from too many developers. This isn't exhaustive but it's these qualities that turn a reasonable coder into an amazing developer. But it isn't one thing, and it's especially never the ability to parse XML or optimise code, It's a surprising collection of skills that aren't taught in the books on writing code. They're a little something extra. Why vent like this? Because development matters but developers are too often consigned to a different world, not always of their making. This never works. Development - anything technical -...

Once you have your project proposal and have agreed to its terms, we will send you a website questionnaire so we can understand your taste and your goals. Your responses will guide our first design that we will submit to you for approval. If you are not happy with it, we will continue to work on it until you are 100% satisfied. We're confident that we will zero in on your needs and preferences very quickly because 90% of our designs get approved on that first submission. What makes a great  site design? On the technical side, you need a site that loads fast, has clear call-to-action b...
