Google’s new account security settings tab puts safety first

Google has publicly stated that its “mission is to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful.” So it’s no surprise that the company applies this mantra to its own products and services. In an effort to tidy things up, the search giant has introduced a new security section to its user account settings.

Under this new space, users can edit their recovery contact number and email address, update permissions, and check recent account activity. While these items aren’t anything new, Google has finally bunched them together, making it easier for people to keep track of their security settings.
