Google Workspace Changes

Added a Chrome Browser Cloud Management card to the Admin console home page.

Google has introduced a new Chrome Browser Cloud Management card on the Admin console landing page. This card allows administrators to view quick statistics, such as the number of enrolled browsers, and perform direct actions like enrolling new browsers or managing Chrome extensions without having to navigate through the full menu system.

Directory Sync now allows admins to replace the domain name for synced users and groups.

Google Workspace admins can now use Directory Sync to automatically replace the domain name for synced users and groups in their Google cloud directory. This enables synced users and groups to have a different domain name than the one used in the external directory. Admins can specify if the domain change should apply only to newly synced users and groups or to both new and previously synced entities.

Google Workspace enables passkeys as a simpler and safer passwordless sign-in alternative in open beta.

Google Workspace is introducing passkeys in open beta, allowing users to sign in to their accounts using fingerprints, face recognition, or other screen-lock mechanisms instead of passwords. Admins can enable this feature in the Admin console under Security > Passwordless, providing a more secure and faster authentication experience that is resistant to phishing and other online attacks.
