Google Autofill with biometric support on Android

Google has released biometric authentication with auto-filling login credentials on Android. Android has had Google's autofill feature for a few years now, but the app wasn't all that secure as Google never asked for biometric verification or a password before filling in the details.

So one could easily use the autocomplete feature to connect to applications and services on an unlocked device.

With a recent server-side update to Play Services, Google made biometric authentication available for autofill. The feature is available from Android 10 and newer .

The function is hidden in Settings

Settings -> Google -> Auto-fill -> Auto-fill with Google -> Auto-fill security
