Google passkeys are a no-brainer. You’ve turned them on, right?

The passkey ecosystem is far from complete, but Google’s implementation is now ready to use.

Ars Technica
@arstechnica can’t wait until Google Workspace accounts support it
@robby Same, my main Google access is via Workspace. I did set up a passkey for my gmail.com account, but I don’t use it much so it doesn’t really change anything day-to-day for me.

@dmnelson we have passkey set up for almost everything because we have them behind Okta, but we haven’t put Google Workspace behind it yet.

Google fully adopting it will be huge for Passkeys taking of. 1Password adding support next month is another big one.

@robby Very true, for most people Google is probably going to be the first thing they use—or at least the biggest and most important thing they use—to support passkeys.
