Google has started rolling out a new feature in Gmail that will allow users to see verified badges next to the sender's name in their inbox. The badges are similar to Twitter's blue checkmark, and they will help users identify legitimate emails from trusted sources.
To get a verified badge, senders will need to go through a verification process that involves proving their identity and demonstrating a history of sending trustworthy emails. The process will be available to eligible senders, including government agencies, corporations, and other organizations that send a large volume of email.
According to Google, the new feature will help prevent email phishing and spoofing attacks, which can be used to trick users into clicking on malicious links or providing personal information. By providing a way for users to quickly identify legitimate senders, the badges can help increase trust and confidence in email communication.
The feature is currently being rolled out gradually to Gmail users, and it may take some time before all users see the verified badges in their inbox. However, once the feature is fully implemented, it is expected to become a valuable tool for both senders and recipients of email.
