Following the increase in cyber attacks, the activation of two-factor authentication for all critical accounts it has become a necessity if you value the security of your data.
Πrecently, in the case of Google accounts based on two-factor authentication (2FA) based on SMS, according to a Google search, The 100% of automatic bots, 96% of phishing attacks and 76% device activations.
While SMS is one of the most popular ways to use 2FA, some other methods are also preferred, such as in-app confirmation dialogs or using Google Authenticator. Similarly, using a device that is currently connected to an account can often be used to provide access to other devices, and this is something we are now seeing Xiaomi integrate into the process of connecting to the Mi account.
Xiaomi is now enabling two-factor authentication for devices running MIUI 10 . According to the snapshots shared by the XDA member kackskrz , the two-factor authentication feature will also notify you of "other connected devices" when you attempt a new connection to a device or a new location that is not registered in your Mi account. You will have the options to approve or reject the connection.
We do not see an option for SMS authentication, but it can be added later.
In addition to maintaining device security, the feature should also prevent any illegal access to Mi Cloud. In addition, since Mi ID is one of the essential elements, if you want to request the unlocking of the bootloader, you will inform in case someone tries to try to access your device.
