Google has issued an urgent warning to its 1.8 billion Gmail users, urging them to make immediate changes to enhance account security. With a rising threat of cybercrime and hacking incidents, the company is recommending that users enable two-step verification (2SV) to prevent potential account deactivation. Users are advised to check their account settings and urgently change weak passwords, as failure to comply may jeopardize access to their accounts. Additionally, Google is promoting a move away from traditional passwords towards passkeys for improved security. All Gmail accounts should undergo these critical updates to safeguard against increasing threats.
