Google is introducing new security features for Google Messages and standard Google accounts, aiming to provide an extra layer of protection for users and assistance in case of account lockouts.
This feature enables users to designate trusted friends or family members who can help in the event of an account lockout, without granting them access to the account.
These new features are intended to add an extra layer of protection for users, but also help you should you ever find yourself getting locked out of your Google account.
