As generally a simpler and more secure alternative to passwords, passkeys represent the culmination of this work to bring phishing-resistant technology to billions of people worldwide.”Īs is typical for these Workspace rollouts, Google is rolling this new feature out slowly. “We championed the development of physical security keys and their standardization under the FIDO Alliance. “ Over the past decade Google has been at the forefront of the battle against phishing and password-related threats, including with our automated defenses powered by Google AI,” wrote Google Workspace product manager Jeroen Kemperman and Workspace engineering manager Shruti Kulkarni in today’s announcement. Google’s own research has shown that using passkeys is twice as fast and four times less error-prone than passwords (no surprise there). Passkeys, like physical security keys, also have the advantage of being resistant to phishing and indeed, the cryptographic protocols underlying the technology aren’t all that different from those of physical security keys.
