Account security recommender
The account security recommender prompts Google Cloud project owners to protect
their account with their
phone's built-in security key.
If a project owner has an eligible device associated with their account and
isn't using a
third party Identity provider for single sign-on, a
notification shows in Google Cloud console's Notificationsnotifications
menu. The project owner can then choose to enable their phone as a security key
for their account, or dismiss the notification.
