Google Workspace Changes

GCPW now supports FIDO2-compliant physical security keys and Bluetooth passkeys as second‑factor authentication.

Google Credential Provider for Windows (GCPW) has been updated to allow administrators to enforce 2‑Step Verification using FIDO2‑compliant hardware security keys at the Windows login screen. Users can also use passkeys from nearby Bluetooth‑connected mobile devices as a second factor. The update is rolling out gradually to Rapid and Scheduled Release domains, starting July 13, 2026, and is available to all Google Workspace customers.
