In May, Google announced its plans to enable two-factor authentication or two-step verification by default for its accounts. The company is reminding us of this plan just in time for Cybersecurity Awareness month. It will enable the security feature for over 150 million accounts before the year ends. It's also pushing over two million YouTube creators to turn on two-factor authentication to protect their channels. According to Google, it is working with organizations to give away over 10,000 hardware security keys every year.
Aside from this feature, Google reminds us that it has a built-in password manager for Chrome, Android, and the Google app. The tech giant said it would soon help you generate passwords for other apps, and you'll soon get access to your saved passwords directly from the Google app menu.

YouTube Music users in the country will soon be able to listen to their songs in the background while your phone screens are off or you're doing something else on your phone. What's great about this news is it's coming to free and Premium users. This is the first time YouTube Music offers a feature without requiring users to subscribe to its Premium tier. It is coming to Canada first, with other countries coming at an unspecified later date.
Starting November 3, it will be available on the standard ad-supported, personalized radio mixes, and any uploaded content you've added to your account. It might be a bit late in the game, given this is a feature we expect from music streaming apps. But at least we're getting first dibs.
