Gmail users urged to adopt passkeys for security

Google is warning Gmail users about new AI-driven attacks that could compromise email accounts. Microsoft has announced that users should add a secondary email or recovery phone number to help secure their accounts. Experts suggest moving away from traditional passwords and two-factor authentication (2FA) to passkeys, which combine hardware and biometrics for better security. This shift is becoming a priority for many organizations. Google plans to enhance account security with passkeys, but users are encouraged to set them up now. The focus is on improving protection against unauthorized access to accounts.
