Google expands Advanced Protection Program to support passkeys, replacing traditional passwords.

Google is expanding its Advanced Protection Program (APP) to support passkeys, replacing traditional passwords. Over 400 million Google accounts have adopted passkeys, which are faster and more secure than passwords, requiring users to simply unlock their device with a fingerprint, face scan, or PIN to log in. Google will also extend cross-account protection, sharing security notifications across platforms to enhance overall user security. The company aims to replace passwords with passkeys in an effort to make digital authentication more secure and convenient.
