Most users will work with a single Google account to access email, Google Play store, Google+ and other services of the search giant. Google for a long time alert the user when account for the first time come out of the new device. This safety feature allows the client company to learn about hacking attempt.
Lack of features, until recently, consisted in the fact that the user is not aware of the potential hacker attack, while he do not check e-mail. Thus, if someone tried to break into an account in the night, the owner receives a notification only in the morning.
To resolve this problem, Google has introduced a special notification, which comes directly on Android-smartphone and tablet users. Once your account is connected a new device, the client receives the push-notification and can take appropriate action, for example, to change the password.
"If the user has any suspicions, it can open the story of your account and see which devices and from what locations were connected to it, as well as receive other information", - stated in the official blog of the corporation.
According to Google experts estimate, due to the sending of notifications on Android, the likelihood that a user will pay attention to potential threats, is 4 times higher.
The new feature will affect all users of Android, but not immediately. Some customers will have to wait up to 14 days to start receiving notifications on smartphone.
