Google announced today four new security features for securing Google accounts. These four updates are meant to bolster protections before and after users sign into accounts, but also in the case of recovering after a hack.

In the coming future, Skelker says that Google won't allow users to sign into accounts if they disabled JavaScript in their browser.

The second new security feature is related to malicious Android apps that users might have installed on their phones. [...]
The third new feature is related to third-party apps and websites that a user has granted permission to access Google account data in the past. [...] Last but not least is a security feature that Google plans to use after an account hack.
[...] explained today in a blog post.

Google will begin to block sign-ins from embedded browser frameworks in June

[...] today, the company said it’ll begin to block all sign-ins from embedded browser frameworks like Chromium Embedded Framework starting in June.
For the uninitiated, embedded browser frameworks enable developers to add basic web browsing functionality to their apps, and to use web languages like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to create those apps’ interface (or portions of it).

“We’re constantly working to improve our phishing protections to keep your information secure,” account security product manager Jonathan Skelker wrote in a blog post. “This is yet another layer of protection on top of existing safeguards like Safe Browsing warnings, Gmail spam filters, and account sign-in challenges.”

With the change, Google’s specifically targeting man in the middle (MITM) attacks, which is says are particularly difficult to spot from automation platforms like embedded browser frameworks. MITM intercepts data exchanges between users and servers in real-team to gather credentials — behavior that Google can’t differentiate from legitimate sign-in attempts.
