Today, Google Cloud announced the availability of passkey technology in Google Workspace and Google Cloud in an open beta, making it the first major cloud provider to bring passkeys to enterprise and public sector organizations. This will enable more than 9 million organizations to use passkeys instead of passwords.
Google has a blog post on this that you can find here.
In early May, Google announced passkey availability for consumers. Beyond dramatically boosting security, passkeys might finally replace the password for good, making life easier for employees everywhere and their IT teams.
Additional announcement highlights include:
- Google data (March – April 2023) shows that passkeys are 2x faster and 4x less error prone than passwords, and are also more secure than SMS, app-based one-time passwords, and other forms of traditional two-factor authentication (2FA).
- Passkeys can dramatically reduce the impact of phishing attacks, password fatigue, and other social engineering cyber attacks.
- Snap Inc. has already leveraged passkeys to help reduce the burden of password management and strengthen security for their employees.
