Google is also planning to follow Twitter’s social platform by enabling a blue ticker in its email service Gmail to indicate that its accounts have undergone a rigorous authentication process.
Google says this authentication will help improve the security of the Gmail platform and will build on the existing BIMI (Brand Indicators for Message Identification) review system. BIMI-authenticated brands can display an avatar in emails.
By adding ticked blue tags around BIMI senders, Google says it can help users identify emails from legitimate senders and imposters.
According to the sample image shared by Google, the verification badge is a blue icon with a white checkmark in the middle. When hovered over, it indicates that the sender has verified the logo in their domain and profile image.
The official Google press release is here for interested users to read.
