Google's new Passkey technology enables secure and convenient access to its Workspace and Cloud accounts without the need for a password. By using two cryptographic keys, passkeys offer a more robust authentication system than traditional password-based authentication. With phishing attacks on the rise, Google's AI-based solutions and board membership in the FIDO alliance ensures maximum credential security. Passkeys are twice as fast as passwords and reduce errors by four times, making them an ideal choice for business customers. Rollout to Google Workspace users is set to begin in the coming weeks.

Google Workspace and Cloud now support passkeys in open beta release, following last month's rollout to consumer accounts. This new method of login via phone, desktop, or laptop replaces authentication codes and SMS. It's safer from phishing attempts and twice as fast, with four times fewer errors than passwords. This rollout will be gradual, but admins will have the ability to enable passkeys for their users in the next few weeks. Keep your accounts safer while being more efficient with passkeys.
