Hi,
Just read yesterday that Google will no longer send SMSs with six digit codes for verification of gmail account, but instead will use QR codes. This is to avoid scams in which the victim is told to tell the fraudster the number he just received on the phone.
I have a source but it is in Spanish:

Oh, English here: <
