The ultimate account security is now in your pocket

Now, you have one more option—and it’s already in your pocket. Starting today in beta, your phone can be your security key—it’s built into devices running Android 7.0+. This makes it easier and more convenient for you to unlock this powerful protection, without having to carry around additional security keys. Use it to protect your personal Google Account, as well as your Google Cloud Accounts at work. We also recommend it for people in our Advanced Protection Program—like journalists, activists, business leaders and political campaign teams who are most at risk of targeted online attacks.

so to use this... you need bluetooth on your computer. i do have a cheapo bluetooth dongle but i do not keep it connected at all time. so disabling this option.
 
lol. i tried using it with bluetooth enabled on my desktop. chrome would still not detect my phone. what a mess. i did not restart the computer or the browser though.
