Google is making its biggest security push yet. The company strongly urges its 2 billion Gmail users to switch passwords to passkeys. While not mandating immediate changes, Google has made passkeys the default authentication method. They’ve also set a hard deadline for third-party apps. The FBI reported cyber attacks jumped 33% last year. Those attacks cost over $16 billion in damages. Google’s response shows how seriously Big Tech is taking the password problem affecting every internet user.
