Google announced that Gmail might add an extra verification step when users try to do things like adding a forwarding address and editing your filters.
The additional verification could help prevent a bad actor who has access to your account from filtering emails in ways you do not expect or forwarding emails to a new address without you knowing.
Meanwhile, the additional protection will be available to all Google Workspace customers and people with personal Google accounts, though Google notes that “this feature only supports users that use Google as their identity provider and actions taken within Google products.”
Last year, the tech giant introduced a similar verification prompt for “sensitive actions taken in your Google Workspace account.”
On a separate note, media reports revealed that Google is introducing a significant enhancement to Google Photos that leverages advanced AI technology. It aims at simplifying the exploration and sharing of an expanding collection of photos and videos.
After earlier leaks, the tech giant has now officially revealed a highly anticipated and robust enhancement to the Memories feature.
This upgraded feature gains its own distinct tab within the Google Photos app, adopting a vertically scrolling layout reminiscent of a conventional social media feed.
The AI-powered functionalities encompass facilitating the selection of meaningful titles for your Memories, based on the content they contain.
The introduction of the “Help me title” button offers a range of suggested titles, with the flexibility to cycle through this selection multiple times.
Additionally, users can tap the “Add hint” button to furnish the AI with supplementary information, guiding it towards improved results.
A major advancement also lies in the capacity to collaborate on Memories with other individuals, mirroring the collaborative nature of shared albums as they currently function.
