Google warns 2.5 billion Gmail users about serious security risks. According to Forbes, the number of hackers bypassing two-factor authentication protections will increase by 84% by 2024.
More than a third of attacks aimed to steal login credentials and personal data. Google says phishing scams are getting more sophisticated, even 2FA is being bypassed.
The company recommends changing your password and switching to a passkey instead of a traditional password. Passkey attaches to the device, allowing login by fingerprint, face or PIN.
This helps speed up login, reduce the risk of information theft and data leakage. In the context of increasingly sophisticated cyber attacks, passkey is considered the optimal security shield for Gmail.
