"Google's move to update how its two-factor authentication system works is a significant announcement.

"This type of security system is key in securing users online, as highlighted by the federal government's media campaign for Australian users.

"There has been some complexity in two-factor authentication but this update by Google will simplify the experience.

"All users should have strong passwords and two-factor authentication as a minimum or risk having their systems hacked."
