Google Workspace Changes

Launch of the G Suite Hack training for power users.

G Suite Hack is a training program featuring five challenge tasks that employees can complete at their own pace, providing a fun way to learn advanced G Suite features.

Introduction of the G Suite for Power Users resource page.

A new page has been launched containing resources specifically curated for advanced users to help them get more out of G Suite.

Launch of the G Suite Welcome Center.

The G Suite Welcome Center offers resources and a roadmap for users to get to know G Suite, containing details on the Learning Center, help guides for each app, switching guides, and a Sheets Coursera course.

Google is disabling access to less secure apps (LSAs) for G Suite accounts to enhance security.

Google is phasing out support for less secure apps (LSAs), which are non-Google apps that access account data using only a username and password. Starting June 15, 2020, new connections to LSAs will be blocked. By February 15, 2021, all LSA access will be disabled for all G Suite accounts. Users and admins are advised to migrate to apps that support OAuth, a more secure authentication method, to maintain access to email, calendar, and contacts.
