Business Tech News: Gmail Is Killing SMS Two Factor Authentication

OpenAI's Deep Research is available to all paying ChatGPT users, and a hidden feature in Windows will help protect your data, but you need to activate it.

The article from Forbes, published on March 2, 2025, discusses Google's decision to discontinue SMS-based two-factor authentication (2FA) for Gmail. Google is moving away from SMS 2FA due to security concerns, such as SIM-swapping attacks where attackers can hijack phone numbers to intercept authentication codes.
