## Authentication options for Google Workspace identity providers

[Access](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/access-controls/policies/)

Google Workspace identity provider integrations now include prompt controls and device-scoped login hints in the Cloudflare dashboard and API.

Choose Google's default behavior, silent authentication, consent, or account selection. If silent authentication cannot use an active Google session, Access retries once with Google's default interactive flow.

Access can also send a domain-matched login hint. It sends the hint when one email from a previous Access login on the same device matches the Google Workspace domain.

For configuration details, refer to [Google Workspace authentication options](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/integrations/identity-providers/google-workspace/#authentication-options).
