Passkeys for Google accounts: learnings and our shared path forward
summary
Google reports rollout milestones: 500M sign-ins by end of 2023, then ~1B sign-ins and 400M accounts after a year, now 2.5B sign-ins and 800M accounts; added passkey autofill and Advanced Protection enrollment which materially increased adoption. Mobile is much faster—50% faster on Android, 40% on iOS—while Windows is slower, a surprising gap. Operational lessons: the credential manager is the new root of trust and attackers already add passkeys after hijacks, so remediation must remove passkeys.
