Google: Strengthening 2-Step Verification by showing phone prompts to more users
Source: New G Suite logins will trigger Google's phone prompts by default starting July 7
Starting on July 7, 2020, we will make phone verification prompts the primary 2-Step Verification (2SV) method for all eligible users, unless they are already using security keys as their 2SV method of choice. This means that if you sign in to your Google account and are also signed in on a smartphone, you will be asked to follow phone prompts to verify the login attempt. This will help increase account security while making it easier to sign in.

In our story about the new prompts mandate for general users last week, we noted concerns from users who may need to be signed into multiple phones in different places at once — having the potential for any device to authenticate a login may pose a vulnerability for them.
