Overview

• Google Cloud will implement mandatory multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all users by the end of 2025.
• The initiative will be rolled out in three phases, starting with reminders for users to adopt MFA voluntarily.
• By early 2025, all new and existing users who log in with a password must enable MFA across Google Cloud services.
• Federated users will also need to comply with MFA requirements by the end of 2025, with flexible options available.
• Google cites increased security threats and research showing MFA significantly reduces the risk of account breaches.
