       A hardware security key or the built-in security key on an Android phone or an iPhone

Run an App

Once you have logged in to your Google Workspace account, you can run the apps available to you, such as Google Docs, Google Sheets, or Google Forms. You can run an app in various ways, but usually the most convenient way is to use the Google Apps panel, which you can open from Google Drive, from Gmail, from the Google website, and from some other apps, such as Google Chat. On a Chromebook, you may prefer to use the Launcher.

      Exactly which apps you can run depends on how your organization’s administrator has configured Google Workspace for your account.
