Advanced Protection defends against targeted online attacks.
Prevents unauthorized access to your account
Gmail blocks over 100 million 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
o verify your identity and sign in to your Google Account. And
unauthorized users won’t 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 for new apps or services, you’re often asked to give
access to information in your Google Account, like your contacts,
location, calendar, or Drive files. Usually this doesn’t pose a risk,
but some attackers impersonate a legitimate third-party service to gain
access to your account. To prevent unauthorized access, Advanced
Protection only allows Google apps and verified third-party apps to
access your Google Account data, and only with your permission.

"With Advanced Protection, I'm confident that activists and the
people in conflict zones will be able to do their critical work
more safely. It's incomparable to any device I’ve used in the
last decade.”
