Google's Advanced Security Program allows users to further strengthen their account security, and now it will be even easier to do so. New users will be able to start using the program using only a passkey. This is reported by The Verge.
In 2023, Google added the ability to use biometric authentication with a passkey to log into accounts. However, at that time, the company still required two separate security keys to start using the additional security program.
With the new update, users will be able to set up additional security for their accounts using only passkey technology.
The additional protection program is aimed not so much at ordinary users as at politicians, journalists, and others who have confidential information and may become victims of targeted online attacks.
To enable the additional security program for your account, you need to go to the official page on Google's website, after which users will be given the choice of using security keys or passkeys.
