Chrome without passwords; Google today announced that you will be able to use the fingerprint sensor to connect to some of its services when you use Chrome for Android.
Η company announced that this mode will be available for all Pixel device users starting today but also that it will roll out to everyone running Android 7 (or higher) in the coming days.
At the moment, you can try this feature at passwords.google.com. You will be able to view and edit your passwords.
The company said it will soon allow more Google and Google cloud services to use this authentication method.
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 need to enter a code access every time you need to connect to one service, and thus you will be able to "survive" from "phishing" attacks.
FIDO2 remembers device-specific credentials, and authentication takes place locally on your device, minimizing the risk of credentials being leaked data your
