Online safety has become a big concern for internet users in India. To help maintain its security, Google India rolled new safety features and resources that are meant to protect the online users. Some intriguing search trends released by Google India last year are a sign that greater cyber security may be required. According to search trends last year, there has been a 20% increase in search term "change passwords" and 97% more searches for "two-step verification".
As per the two-step verification process, you require more than just a password to sign into your Google account. You will be required to enter a 6-digit password that will be sent to your registered mobile number for an added layer of protection. Google also pointed out that in the last year, there has been 591% more searches for "how to track a lost phone", as reported by Economic Times 

The company is not only rolling out new features to strengthen the online security of Google accounts for Indian users but will also plan an extensive campaign to explain the users importance of online security. "With an increase in the number of users coming online and the rise in the penetration of smartphone users in India, we at Google are committed to offering users a safe Internet experience," Sunita Mohanty, director, trust and safety, Google India said in a statement.
