The article makes the product look to be directed at Google Cloud customers, thus increasing its unique selling proposition over AWS and Azure.
- tptacek 8y agoAWS and Azure should provide direct support for U2F, too. It's an open standard; nothing stops either provider from doing that.
- krn 8y agoSure. But the message I get is, "Now I can use Google's phishing resistant 2FA device to protect my Google Cloud account". It's like accessing Gmail via Chrome: you know, that it's the "official way".
- tptacek 8y agoIt's a U2F token. It should be the official way. It's kind of a travesty if AWS doesn't have native support for it.
- pvg 8y agoFairly sure it doesn't unless it's really well hidden. In fact, if someone at Google really did happen to think 'doing initial rollout to GCP customers is going to make AWS look lame' and AWS stops dragging their feet on this, it would also be a good thing for everyone.
- krn 8y agoI would argue, that the entire GCP development model, as the late entrant's to the cloud market, is about making AWS look lame in comparison.
- jrnichols 8y agoor are you saying "Hey, what a handy way to keep people invested in our Googleverse?"
