Huge day for passkeys!

Starting today, you can set up a passkey for your Google account. At this stage of the industry-wide transition, setting up a passkey doesn’t invalidate your password, so it’s 100% safe to set up. https://blog.google/technology/safety-security/the-beginning-of-the-end-of-the-password/

The beginning of the end of the password

We’ve begun rolling out support for passkeys across Google Accounts on all major platforms as an additional option that people can use to sign in.

@rmondello I read it. They have a pattern of saying "soon" about features coming to Google Workspace and it taking years (or never happening). I hope it's less true this time, because I'm excited to try it. (I'm not annoyed with you; I'm annoyed with Google, where I used to work, and saw how prioritization of Workspace features happened or didn’t.)
