The OS X Yosemite (http://www.imore.com/os-x-yosemite) 10.10.3 beta for developers appears to contain native support for Google's 2-step verification when adding Google accounts in system preferences.</p> <!--break--> <p>The new settings, which were spotted by MacRumors (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/02/06/os-x-10-10-3-google-2-step/), enable users to activate a given Google account on their Mac by entering a one-time code sent via text message, or obtained from Google's Authenticator app. For comparison, the current version of OS X Yosemite requires users with 2-step verification enabled to create an app-specific password in order to add their Google accounts to a Mac.</p> <p>The OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 beta was released to developers yesterday, and contains the long-awaited Photos app (http://www.imore.com/os-x-10103-pre-release-build-sent-testers-includes-new-photos-app) that was first announced at WWDC 2014.</p> <p>If you'd like to check out more about the integration of 2-step verification in OS X, you can find screenshots and more from MacRumors at the source link below. If you're also curious about more 10.10.3 newness, be sure to take a gander at our first look at Photos for Mac (http://www.imore.com/photos-mac-first-look-future-ubiquitous-photography-approaches).</p> <p>Source: MacRumors (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/02/06/os-x-10-10-3-google-2-step/)</p> </div></div></div><div id="comment-wrapper-nid-29833"></div><img width='1' height='1' src='http://tipb.com.feedsportal.com/c/33998/f/616881/s/4321aeec/sc/4/mf.gif' border='0'/><br clear='all'/>
