Going forward, users following the Google Ads API\u2019s user authentication workflow will be required to authenticate with a passkey when generating new OAuth 2.0 refresh tokens.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"346\" height=\"600\" http: alt=\"Google Passkey\" class=\"wp-image-483618\" src=\"https:\/\/searchengineland.com\/wp-content\/seloads\/2026\/07\/Google-Passkey.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"346\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/searchengineland.com\/wp-content\/seloads\/2026\/07\/Google-Passkey.png\" alt=\"Google Passkey\" class=\"wp-image-483618\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once the change takes effect:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Passkeys will replace password-only authentication and traditional two-factor methods such as SMS codes and time-based one-time passwords (TOTP) for this workflow.<\/li>\n<li>Users without a passkey will be prompted to create one during authentication.<\/li>\n<li>Existing OAuth refresh tokens will continue to work and won\u2019t require reauthorisation.<\/li>\n<li>A newly created passkey may be subject to a seven-day security delay before becoming fully trusted.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Google recommends creating a passkey ahead of time to avoid delays when new authentication is required.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why we care<\/strong>. While most advertisers won\u2019t notice the change, developers, agencies and SaaS platforms that generate OAuth refresh tokens for Google Ads users will need to prepare. Teams onboarding new users after the rollout should account for the passkey requirement\u2014and the potential seven-day trust period\u2014to avoid unexpected delays. <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">App<\/a>lications using service accounts for automated workflows are not affected.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Also affected<\/strong>. The passkey requirement will extend to other Google Ads products that rely on the Google Ads API, including:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Google Ads Editor.<\/li>\n<li>Google Ads Scripts.<\/li>\n<li>BigQuery Data Transfer Service.<\/li>\n<li>Looker Studio.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Users accessing these tools without a passkey will be prompted to create one.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Bottom line<\/strong>. Starting in August, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ads-developers.googleblog.com\/2026\/07\/passkey-authentication-requirement-for.html\">passkeys will become the standard authentication method for generating new Google Ads API refresh tokens<\/a>. Existing integrations will continue working, but developers should prepare new users for the updated sign-in process before the rollout begins.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background: radial-gradient(circle at 30% 40%, rgba(184, 111, 255, 0.15), rgba(0, 169, 255, 0.15) 40%, #CDE8FD 70%); padding: 30px; width: 100%; max-width: 802px; color: #000000 !important; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; margin: 25px 0 30px 0; border-radius: 8px; box-shadow: 0 2px 4px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1); position: relative; box-sizing: border-box;\">\n<div style=\"width: 100%; max-width: 100%; margin-bottom: 20px; text-align: left; padding-right: 20px; box-sizing: border-box;\">\n<div id=\"semrush-one-headline\" class=\"headline-responsive\" style=\"font-family: Oswald, sans-serif; font-size: 30px; font-weight: normal; margin: 0; color: #000000 !important; line-height: 1.2;\">\n        Every click they win is <span style=\"background: linear-gradient(90deg, #D56EFE 0%, #068EF8 51%); -webkit-background-clip: text; -webkit-text-fill-color: transparent; background-clip: text;\">a customer you lose<\/span>.\n      <\/div>\n<p id=\"semrush-one-subhead\" style=\"font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-weight: 300; line-height: 25px; margin: 12px 0 0 0; color: #000000 !important;\">\n        See where competitors are investing, which keywords drive their results, and how to capture more of the market.\n      <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 15px;\">\n      <span id=\"semrush-one-cta\" style=\"display: inline-block; background-color: #FF642D; color: white; height: 44px; border: none; border-radius: 5px; cursor: pointer; font-size: 16px; padding: 0 24px; font-weight: bold; white-space: nowrap; box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; line-height: 44px;\">See who\u2019s stealing your traffic<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<style>\n  @media (max-width: 768px) {\n    .headline-responsive {\n      font-size: 30px !important;\n      line-height: 1.3 !important;\n    }\n  }\n<\/style>\n<div class=\"ttd-topics-display\">\n<div class=\"ttd-topics-content\">\n<h5><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Topics_on_this_page\"><\/span>Topics on this page<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<div class=\"ttd-topics-links\">Application programming interfaceGoogleGoogle AdsOAuthPasskeyAuthenticationBigQueryComputer securityData StudioGoogle AdSenseSoftware as a service<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ttd-topics-show-extra-button\">+6 more<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
