Federated Credential Management (FedCM) Migration for Google Identity Services

  • Google Identity Services (GIS) will be migrating to the Federated Credential Management (FedCM) API after the phase-out of third-party cookies.
  • The migration is scheduled to start in April and will automatically affect GIS developers.
  • Websites with custom integrations may require minor changes.
  • Developers are encouraged to experiment with FedCM through the beta program to ensure a smooth transition.
  • This update is for all GIS web developers who use One Tap or Automatic Sign-In with the Chrome browser.
  • The migration is part of the Privacy Sandbox initiative to support privacy and free experiences.
  • Chrome's phased restriction of third-party cookies began in January 2024 and will reach 100% by the end of Q4 2024.
  • Developers should review the migration guide to determine if their website will require changes.
  • A checklist for developers is provided to help them prepare for the migration.
