Google’s new two-factor authentication prompt now has dark mode on Android

by

Google is launching a new update for its two-factor authentication prompt on Android, which adds support for dark mode (along with a new Material Design style look) via 9to5Google.

Is this objectively a small cosmetic update on the grand scheme of things? yea. Is it good not to be hit by a blinding white light on the retina when the two-factor authentication prompt appears while you are trying to log into something in total darkness? Yes, too.

In addition to the less dazzling tone, the new update also features some other minor cosmetic changes, including Google’s customized Google Sans font for the UI and colored icons in red and green on the login buttons.

The new update appears to be rolling out slowly to Android owners – 9to5Google reports that it is available on personal Google accounts, but not for those with Google Workspace accounts.
