Google this week announced a series of security and ease-of-use improvements for the Autofill feature in Chrome.
"Biometric authentication is optional. You can choose to confirm your card with its CVC and you can also turn this feature on and off in Chrome Settings at any time," Google explains.
The Internet giant also explains that Chrome leverages the W3C standard WebAuthn to ensure that users are securely enrolled for biometric authentication and that users should rest assured that their data is safe.
The feature has been rolled out to Windows and Mac and is expected to arrive on Chrome for Android in the coming weeks.
Using a password manager such as the one integrated in Chrome should also help users avoid phishing attacks, as the technology suggests sign-in options for legitimate sites only, but not for phishing pages.
