As a lead PM on this project for Google accounts (along with my general partner-in-crime, the one-and-only Christiaan Brand) this award is an absolute highlight of my career. Every year, only 10 projects across all of Google are selected by a panel of Google Fellows and Distinguished Engineers, for the "Google Tech Impact Awards", to recognize "teams that have demonstrated impact, technical excellence and effective team collaboration". I am incredibly proud of the whole passkeys team that went from "Looks like passkeys are going to become a thing, let's do something for Google accounts as a trial sometime in late 2023" to "any of the billions of user with a Google account can use a passkey to sign in to their account on the platform of their choice like NOW" in less than 3 quarters. And oh, the first company wide layoffs happened just as the team was getting together... We stand on the shoulders of giants; but the hustle and drive the team showed in the face of incredible odds has made sign-in cool again :-D Congratulations, and my heartfelt thanks to Mitchell Galavan Court Morgan Manu Sinha Diana Smetters Wuwei Zhang Sean Holmquest Sarah Hammond John Gronberg Mickey Kataria Madison Elliott Silvia Convento, PhD Arnar Birgisson Ben Galbraith Sam Srinivas and so many more... Thank you! Special thanks to Sam Srinivas who brought me into the team and opened up this opportunity!
