Crores of Gmail users are set to encounter rules change in signing in, as part of an attempt by Google to enhance its user privacy.

Google will cut off access to Gmail from less secure apps/websites. This will be extended to third-party sites that solely depend upon a username and password for logging in.

The September month has been a busy one for Google, as they started rolling out passkeys for Chrome users on Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android, and introducing post-quantum cryptography to defend against attacks. This has been on the run to transition from the age-old custom of username and password login.

Henceforth, Google Workspace users will be asked to log in to their respective accounts using a more secure sign-in option named OAuth.

This update affects all Google Workspace accounts. From now on, services like Calendar, Contacts, and Email will no longer let you log in using just a password.
