Google is implementing stricter policies to crack down on bulk email senders and reduce spam. Starting this month, bulk senders who don't comply with Google's new requirements may receive temporary errors. From April, Google will begin rejecting a percentage of non-compliant email traffic, gradually increasing the rejection rate. The new policies require bulk senders to authenticate their emails, avoid sending unwanted messages, and implement a one-click unsubscribe button for commercial and promotional emails by June 2024. The goal is to give users more control over the emails they receive.

Google is making "passkeys" the default sign-in method for all users as an alternative to passwords. Passkeys enable users to sign in with biometric sensors, a PIN, or pattern, eliminating the need to manage passwords. Google reports that 64% of users found passkeys simpler to use than traditional methods like passwords and two-step verification. This change is aimed at improving security and user experience. Google will also implement stricter rules for Gmail bulk senders to reduce spam and unwanted emails starting in February 2024.
