Update, Nov. 07, 2024: This story, originally published Nov. 06, now includes comments from multiple security professionals regarding the mandatory Google Cloud 2FA decision.
If you are among the 30% of Google Cloud users who currently sign in using a password, and nothing but a password, things are about to get a lot more secure. Starting immediately, Google is “encouraging” users with “helpful reminders” about the benefits of two-factor authentication.
The final phase will occur by the end of 2025, we are told, and will extend the mandatory 2FA requirement to those currently using federated authentication when logging into Google Cloud. “You'll have flexible options to meet this requirement,” the announcement confirmed. This appears to mean that you will be able to enable 2FA with the primary identity provider before accessing Google Cloud itself, or add an additional layer of 2FA security through Google’s system using your Google account.
“Google’s phased rollout eases users into the new requirement, as MFA can be met with resistance due to perceived friction in user experience, especially when implemented abruptly,” Patrick Tiquet, vice president of security and compliance at Keeper Security, said.
