Google Expands Canvas In AI Mode To All U.S. Users

Google has expanded access to its Canvas feature in AI Mode to all users in the United States, extending the tool beyond its earlier rollout through Google Labs. The feature is designed to help users organize projects, conduct deeper research, and build documents or applications directly within Google Search.

Streamlining Complex Workflows

Canvas allows users to describe ideas in natural language and convert them into functional code, enabling the creation of simple applications, games, or prototypes. The tool can also transform research materials into interactive formats such as web pages, quizzes, or audio summaries. These capabilities align with a broader shift in generative AI tools that aim to simplify project development and content creation within everyday digital workflows.

Advanced Integration And User Empowerment

Canvas is integrated with Google’s AI ecosystem, including the Gemini models. Subscribers to Google AI Pro and Google AI Ultra gain access to the latest Gemini 3 model and a context window of up to one million tokens, allowing the system to process significantly larger datasets and more complex tasks. Integration with other research tools, including NotebookLM, further expands the feature’s use cases for research, coding, and content development.

Competitive Landscape And Strategic Advantages

Technology companies are increasingly introducing similar AI-assisted development tools. Platforms developed by firms such as OpenAI and Anthropic offer comparable capabilities for writing, coding, and project prototyping. Google’s approach differs in that Canvas operates directly inside Google Search rather than as a standalone interface, potentially giving the feature broader reach through the company’s existing search ecosystem.

Conclusion: Setting A New Benchmark In Digital Innovation

The wider rollout of Canvas in AI Mode reflects a growing trend toward integrating generative AI tools into everyday digital platforms. By embedding project creation and coding features within search, Google continues to expand the role of AI in research, productivity, and application development.

Passkeys Are The Gold Standard For Account Security. So Why Don’t More Major Apps Offer Them?

by THEFUTURE.TEAM

June 25, 2026

Passkeys are increasingly being promoted as one of the most effective ways to protect online accounts. By reducing reliance on passwords, they help prevent phishing attacks, simplify sign-ins and strengthen account security. Despite those advantages, however, many major digital platforms have yet to adopt the technology.

A Security Upgrade Still Missing At Scale

That gap is the focus of whynopasskeys.com, a new site created by security researcher Scott Helme to highlight companies that have not yet enabled passkeys for their users. The site tracks major consumer brands that continue to rely on older login methods even as passkeys become the industry standard.

Among the services still without passkey support are Instagram, Netflix and Spotify, according to the site’s data.

Why Passkeys Matter

Unlike traditional passwords, passkeys are generated on a user’s device and linked both to that device and to a specific website or application. Authentication can be completed through biometrics such as Face ID or Touch ID, a hardware security key or a password manager.

Because users do not need to create or remember passwords, opportunities for credential theft, phishing attacks and password reuse are significantly reduced. In most cases, gaining access to an account would require direct access to the user’s device.

Public Accountability As A Pressure Tactic

In a blog post explaining the project, Helme said the goal is to create pressure by making the absence of passkey support visible. “A list is a surprisingly effective motivator. Nobody wants to be on the list,” he wrote.

That approach has already worked elsewhere in cybersecurity: when businesses are publicly compared against peers on basic protections, they often move faster to close the gap. In this case, the list is intended to push platforms to give users a stronger and simpler login option.

The Companies Moving Faster

Many large technology companies have already adopted passkeys, including Apple, Google and Microsoft, reflecting the technology’s growing role in account security.

Implementation, however, remains uneven. Instagram users can currently access passkeys only when their account is linked to a Facebook account that already has passkey support enabled, highlighting differences in adoption even within the same company.

The Bigger Business Question

Meta has not publicly explained why passkeys are available on some of its platforms, including Facebook and WhatsApp, but not fully across Instagram.

Debate within the industry is no longer centred on whether passkeys work, but on how quickly companies are willing to deploy them. As phishing, credential theft and account fraud remain persistent cybersecurity challenges, passkeys are increasingly being viewed not as an optional feature but as an emerging security standard.
