Google brings passkeys to its Advanced Protection Program

Google is adding support to its Advanced Protection Program. APP is the company’s highest-level security option. It’s intended for targets who could be at high risk of hacks or other scams, such as elected officials or human rights workers, and it previously required a physical security key to use. In Google’s today, it acknowledged that the physical component made APP less feasible for some of the people who need the service most. Now, people who enroll in APP can opt for a passkey or for a physical key.

Google was one of many tech companies to start offering passkeys for security, rolling out the option and offering them to all Google accounts in 2023. Earlier this year, Google said that more than 400 million accounts have used passkeys . And that’s a big number, but on the whole, uptake of this technology .

In addition to adding passkey support, Google also shared that it is partnering with media nonprofit Internews to provide cybersecurity support for its network of journalists and human rights advocates. The arrangement will cover ten countries, including Brazil, Mexico and Poland.
