Google’s new two-factor verification guide now has a dark mode on Android

by

Google is launching a new update for its two-factor authentication prompt on Android, which supports dark mode (along with a new material design style) via 9to5Google.

Is this objectively a small cosmetic update in the big scheme? Yes. Is it nice not to be blown away by retina-scorching white light when your two-factor verification call pops up while trying to sign up for something in pitch black darkness? Also yes.

In addition to the less dazzling hue, the new update also includes some other minor cosmetic changes, including Google’s custom Google Sans font for the UI, and colorful red and green icons on the login buttons.

The new update seems to be slowly working out for Android owners – 9to5Google reports that it’s available on personal Google Accounts, but not for those with Google Workspace accounts.
