Signing in and authenticating your Gemini account is now more secure and easier with Gemini’s updated Passkeys features. We now offer the ability to sign in with a passkeys-only mode that requires minimal setup and improves the security of your account significantly.

What’s New

Our latest passkeys upgrade introduces a passkeys and hardware keys-only modes to further strengthen your account security. Enjoy a streamlined setup and authentication process, along with passwordless sign-in for safer and more seamless access.

Here’s how it benefits Gemini users:

Enhanced security: Passkeys significantly reduce the risk of account takeover by eliminating reliance on less secure two-factor authentication methods like SMS and Authy, which are vulnerable to phishing attacks. After creating a passkey on your device, you can disable these less secure methods, ensuring that even sophisticated phishing attempts are effectively thwarted.

Guided set up journeys for new and existing users: Whether you’re a new user or an existing one, our guided setup journeys ensure a smooth transition to passkeys. New users opting in during onboarding will have passkeys set up as their default authentication method, while existing users can easily add passkeys to enhance their security.

Passwordless convenience: Gone are the days where you are forced to remember and manage complex passwords. Passkeys allow you to sign in securely with your device and biometrics like fingerprint or Face ID, simplifying the sign-in process and ensuring a frictionless experience across web or mobile.

Onward and Upward!
