Google adds FIDO2 keys and phone passkeys to Windows login via GCPW
Google has begun rolling out support for FIDO2 physical security keys and phone passkeys as a second authentication factor for Google Credential Provider for Windows (GCPW) across all Google Workspace customers. GCPW enables Windows login using Google Workspace credentials, and the new capability allows administrators to enforce two-step verification with hardware security keys. The update strengthens account security by providing organizations with stronger multi-factor authentication options for Windows device access.
Why it matters: Google Workspace administrators can now enforce hardware-based multi-factor authentication for Windows login, reducing reliance on passwords and phishing-vulnerable authentication methods for their organization's workforce.
