From Zero to Hero – Google Smart Lock Review

My previous rating was as low you could get and given how many Google projects hit the skids or vanish away, I was shocked that Google did a 180 to drastic improvement. Not only did they completely re-work the smart lock app but they improved the advanced protection program at the same time. Whereas the app was mostly an unreliable fail before, it’s now works like a charm and it allows your iPhone to be one of your security keys. So between my iPhone and the two Titan security keys, my security profile is greatly increased while minimizing the risk of getting locked out - would have to lose both keys and the iPhone. Also, the iPhone as a key allows you additional capabilities that the USB keys can’t provide. So hats off to Google for making the advanced protection a practical high security option as opposed to a self-imposed shackling.
