That means you have at least a few  different passwords to memorize, as using the same password for  everything isn’t exactly the most secure route to take. While a  completely password-free life isn’t quite attainable just yet, Google is  testing out a method that can free us from one of these passwords at  least. According to a post from Reddit user rp1226, Google is apparently  testing a new feature that allows users to log into a Google account on  their PC without having to input a password. As an alternative, you  simply enter your email and your phone will get a notification telling  you someone is trying to sign in from another device. If you let your  phone know that this person is you, it’ll automatically authorize the  entry – no need to enter a password. <img src="http://cdn01.androidauthority.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/google-authorize-account-840x532.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Obviously this feature doesn’t just magically work, it first needs to  be set up. For rp1225, he first got an email letting him opt into the  program, and then he had to set up the option by authorizing a  compatible device. After the one-time setup, he was good to go. There’s still several unknowns to this new login option. First, it’s  unclear if this feature will be rolled out to everyone in short order,  or if rp1226 was just lucky enough to be given early access. Second,  it’s hard to say what devices are on the compatibility list. This  particular user happens to have the Nexus 6p, and it’s certainly  possible that this could have been the reason he was chosen as a tester. Regardless, this is a pretty cool feature. Personally, I don’t mind  entering a password and see this as more time-consuming, but for those  constantly changing passwords or those that have trouble remembering  them, this could certainly come in handy.</blockquote>
