#security with new 2-step verification

We know that security is one of your top concerns as a Google Apps admin and that many of you require your employees to turn on 2-Step Verification (2SV) to keep their accounts safe. There are multiple ways your end users can approve sign-in requests via 2SV—by tapping a Security Key, by entering a verification code sent to their phone or, starting today, by approving a prompt like the one below that will pop up on their phone

Your employees can now choose any of these options in the Sign-in & Security > Signing in to Google > 2-Step Verification section of My Account. The Help Center will be updated with detailed instructions soon; check back here for links to the relevant articles

Notes:

Currently, you can't have Security Keys and Google prompt enabled at the same time.
A data connection is required to use Google prompt.
Android users will need updated Google Play Services to use Google prompt.
iOS users will need the Google Search app installed on their phone to use Google prompt.
