People whose accounts contain particularly valuable files or sensitive information should consider Advanced Protection. Google strongly recommends that journalists, activists, business executives, and people involved in elections enroll.
If youâre at high risk for targeted online attacks, we recommend enrolling both your work and personal accounts, and possibly even your family membersâ accounts.
If you have a Google Workspace Account (an organisational Google Account) you can enroll it individually with admin approval. Start the enrollment process to see if your admin has already enabled Advanced Protection. If not, speak to your admin directly.
Yes. In fact, we recommend enrolling all of the accounts in any organization that might be targeted, such as a campaign; a political, journalist, or activist group; or an election-related organization.
Getting ready to enrollThe Advanced Protection Program is a free service.
In order to enroll, you can use a passkey on your personal device or you can purchase a security key. Youâll also need to add recovery options to avoid getting locked out.
Youâll need at least one passkey or FIDO compliant security key, like Googleâs Titan Security Key, when you enroll and sign in to your Google Account. You have the option to enroll with any of following configurations as your primary and secondary security factors:
Yes. Add an email and phone number to your Google Account, so itâs easy to recover if you get locked out.
Using your account with Advanced ProtectionMost of your day-to-day account activity will not feel different.
Passkeys are the simplest and most secure way to sign in to your Google Account, verifying itâs you with just your fingerprint, face scan or screen lock â no password needed. Passkeys can never be guessed or reused, helping keep your private information secure against attackers. Passkeys can also be created on FIDO 2 compliant physical security keys.
Youâll need at least one passkey or one security key set up on your account to enroll in Advanced Protection.
A security key is a physical key that you use to sign in to your account, just as you would have for your house or car. When you sign in with a security key, you plug in or touch the key to your device.
Google Accounts that use passkeys or security keys are much safer from attacks than accounts that only have a password. Youâll need at least one passkey or security key set up on your account to enroll in Advanced Protection.
Types of keys
Passkeys use the built-in security features of your personal device, like your fingerprint, face scan, or other screen lock. Passkeys can also be created on FIDO 2 compliant physical security keys.
There are many kinds of hardware security keys. You might plug a USB key into your device, keep a Bluetooth key nearby, or hold an NFC key close to your device when you sign in.
You can purchase Googleâs Titan Security Key or any key that supports the FIDO 2 open standard. FIDO 1 keys can also be used to enroll in Advanced Protection, but you will still need to additionally enter your password when signing in.
Youâll need your passkey or your security key to sign in to your Google Account. Remember to bring your passkey (which is on your device) or your security key with you when you travel.
If you lose your passkey or security key and are still signed in on one of your devices, visit account.google.com to add or replace a key. Otherwise, submit a request to recover your account. Google may take a few days to verify itâs you and restore your access.
