Google is planning on removing SMS authentication for Gmail and replacing it with a new method.
Ross Richendrfer, Gmail’s spokesperson, states: “Just like we want to move past passwords with the use of things like passkeys, we want to move away from sending SMS messages for authentication.”
Richendrfer states that QR codes will replace SMS authentication to “reduce the impact of rampant, global SMS abuse”. The company states that the SMS authentication method is not the safest way to guarantee your Gmail is not hacked. It is said to reduce phishing tactics used towards Gmail users.
There is no official date for this change to officially occur. Google has stated changing from SMS authentication to QR codes will happen in the near future.
