Google now allows you to password-protect your Google account's My Activity page so that others sharing your device can't snoop on your online activity.

When you use Google products, such as Google Search, Gmail, Google News, the Play Store, Maps, and YouTube, the company will record what activities you performed on these services.

Users of Google services can see their collected activity by going to the 'My Activity' page, which lists your recent activity and allows you to delete stored data.

To password-protect your My Activity and prevent people from snooping on your activity, you can enable a new My Activity verification feature by following these steps.

Once you log in, the My Activity page will be displayed again, but this time the page will not show your search activity.

Now that the My Activity page is password-protected, it will not be possible for anyone to view your search and browsing activity without knowing your password.
