Google logins: JavaScript now required

When using the Google sign-in page, you won’t get any further if you have JavaScript disabled. This could be frustrating for some users, given how much important data can be stored in a Google account. Why has the drawbridge come up? In a nutshell, to keep you safe from the many scams and attacks aimed at Google users.

Google accounts have a whole variety of safety measures to keep would-be compromisers out. If someone manages to obtain your password and tries to sign in as you, Google runs some checks. If they flag certain unusual activity, such as logins from another country, they’ll request additional verification.

Google can’t do any of this without JavaScript up and running, so moving forward you’ll have to switch it on.
