Key Points:
- Google has made Device Bound Session Credentials (DBSC) generally available in Chrome for Windows, enhancing session security by binding session cookies to the authenticated device.
- DBSC prevents malicious actors from exploiting stolen session cookies, even if malware is present on the device, by ensuring only the original device can access the session.
- The feature is being rolled out gradually to both Google Workspace customers and personal Google account users, with the rollout having started on May 25 and expected to complete within 60 days.
- DBSC is enabled by default, requiring no action from users to benefit from the improved security in Chrome on Windows.
