The rollout of the blue checkmark feature has already begun, meaning users can expect to see verified company emails in the near future.
Google stated in a blog post announcing the news that strong email authentication enhances user and email security, helps combat spam, and allows senders to leverage brand trust. This ultimately promotes a more reliable and immersive email experience for everyone involved.
While plans for wider implementation, including regular @gmail.com accounts, are still unclear, it is important for internet users to remain vigilant and not rely solely on such verification measures. In today’s remote work environment, scam emails continue to evolve in their creativity and effectiveness, making caution online paramount.
