Google has just issued an urgent warning about a large-scale Gmail attack caused by hackers using AI to scan and steal passwords. According to experts, continuing to use traditional passwords is no longer safe and even poses a risk of losing account access.
Most users have the habit of using the same password for many years, creating a security hole that is easily exploited. The solution proposed by Google is to switch to a “passkey” - a biometric passcode that cannot be copied or guessed.
Passcode allows you to log in with your fingerprint, face, or PIN, instead of having to remember and type a password like before. Unlike passwords that can be exposed through data breaches, keys are encrypted and stored securely on the user's device. Setting up a passcode is simple through your Google Account Settings, adding security in just minutes.
In the era of AI rampant in cyberspace, the password is the "shield" that protects Gmail from dangerous attacks. Dear readers, please watch more videos : Many scams from AI technology are on the rise | News 141
