Advanced Protection defends against targeted online attacks.
Protects your account from phishing
Gmail blocks over 10 crore phishing attempts every day. But
sophisticated phishing tactics can trick the most savvy users into
giving their sign-in credentials to hackers. Advanced Protection
requires you to use a
passkey
or a
security key
to verify your identity and sign in to your Google Account. And
unauthorised users will not be able to sign in without them, even if
they know your username and password.
Provides extra protection from harmful downloads
Safe Browsing on Chrome protects 4 billion devices against risky sites,
and Advanced Protection performs even more stringent checks before each
download. It flags, or even blocks you from downloading, files that may
be harmful. Only app installations from verified stores, like Google
Play Store and your device manufacturer’s app store, are allowed.
Keeps your personal information secure
When you sign up to new apps or services, you’re often asked to give
access to your information in your Google Account, like your contacts,
location, or Drive. Google Accounts come with built-in protections and
check over 100 crore saved passwords for breaches every day. But some
attackers can impersonate a legitimate third-party to gain access to
information. Advanced Protection allows only Google apps and verified
third-party apps to access your Google Account data, and only with your
permission.
