Google confirms it's testing password-less sign in for its users

Internet giant Google has confirmed that it's testing a password-less login capability for its users. When fully released, this new feature will allow users to log in to their accounts with just their smartphone.

From the picture above, users will first have a compatible smartphone that needs to be set-up before they can use this feature. Once setting up the phone is done, this new feature is enabled,  implying that whenever a user tries to sign in to their Google account on any other computer or device, he/she just have to enter his/her email address and ask the system to let you in.

An SMS notification seeking the users permission to approve the login will be sent to their smartphone. Once approved, the login attempt will be successful. Note that users would still be able to use their password to login the old fashioned way if they so wish.
