Google now allows iPhones to be used as security keys for 2-Step Verification.
Google has added an option to use an iPhone as a security key for 2-Step Verification (2FA) to provide stronger protection against phishing and account takeover attacks. To enable this feature, users must install the Google Smart Lock app on a device running iOS 10.0 or higher. These security keys are compatible with Bluetooth-enabled Chrome OS (version 79+), iOS, macOS, or Windows 10 devices using a Chrome browser.
