With all the accounts users have in multiple social media platforms as well as email services and MMORPGs today, it's difficult to keep track of password combinations for each. Most platforms help keep a user's account secure by requiring more complex passwords, while other services only need about six to eight characters to work with. Recently however, Google is working on a new way for users to sign into their Google accounts without having the need to enter a password, removing the need for complex, difficult to remember passwords or avoiding the risks of simple passwords.

Google invited one user on Reddit, who goes by the name of rp1216, to test the new procedure and posted screenshots that details the method. Should the new password feature be launched, users will be able to activate it via the Sign-in & security section found in their Google account settings. Also, users will need to associate a primary handset with their Google account, locked with a password or a PIN.

Whenever a user needs to access their Google account on the internet, they will receive a notification in their handset asking if they are the one who is signing in to the account. Upon clicking yes, the page on the web will refresh and users will then be able to log in.

Users will still be able to access their account through the conventional password system at anytime, as a fail-safe procedure should their handsets run out of battery. Furthermore, there will also be a challenge that consists of entering a number listed on the web into the user's handset.

Google's password-less method for a user's account gives way to more convenience since a number of people still forget their passwords due to the complexity they have made it out of. It also provides more security for users that only have access to public computers as passwords aren't typed or gets transmitted when entered.
