Google Cloud will require users to use multi-factor authentication starting in 2025 to improve account security.
Starting in January 2025, Google will force approximately 30 percent of Google Cloud customers to enable MFA. This only affects a small minority of users who currently only authenticate with a password and therefore have not yet opted for multi-factor authentication.
Over the next two months, the tech giant will send out reminders about the upcoming MFA requirement. Starting in January, MFA will be mandatory for users who log in with a password and for all federated users by the end of 2025. “At Google Cloud, we are committed to providing our customers with the best possible security,” Google said in its blog.
Google introduced MFA to consumers back in 2011. The option is not mandatory for consumer accounts, but is still commonly used. Because Google Cloud users host more sensitive data, Google decided to make MFA a requirement there.
Google is one of the last companies yet to make MFA mandatory, previously AWS, Microsoft (with Azure), and Snowflake have taken this action.
