Chrome without passwords; Google announced today that you'll be able to use your fingerprint sensor to sign in to some of its services when you use Chrome for Android.
The company announced that this feature will be available to all Pixel device users starting today and that it will also roll out to everyone running Android 7 (or higher version) from the next few days.
For now, you can try this feature on address passwords.google.com. You will be able to view and edit them codeof your access.
The company said it will soon allow more Google and Google cloud services to use this method control identity.
The company also reported that this feature was manufactured using FIDO2, W3C WebAuthn and FIDO CTAP service standards. This makes the new feature safer than using the native biometric APIs used on Android.
Google has stated that if you use FIDO2, you can use the same method of verification in both the web and the application.
Using this method, you will not have to enter a password every time you need to log in to a service, so you can "survive" from "phishing" attacks.
FIDO2 remembers the credentials of a particular device, and authentication takes place locally on your device, minimizing the risk of your data leaking
