Although technically available to anyone, Google has an "advanced protection program" for highly targeted accounts. It has the follow (may have missed some) effects on your account:
* locked to 2fa with security keys
* limiting the set of apps that can access account data
* better scrutinized account reset - i assume this means it makes your account more resistant to phishing on Google employee's part.

Its nice that Google apparently makes this available to anyone who is willing to buy the security keys. It would be nice if all major social media services had such a program.

- hermitdev 7y agoNot sure if this falls into the advanced protection for Google, but about a year or two ago, got a notification of a suspicious login from Moscow (I'm from the US and have never travelled out of North America). Promptly changed my password.
