Google is reportedly revisiting a plan to require a biometric check before Chrome on Android fills in saved passwords. The feature, spotted in development coverage by Android Authority, would add a fingerprint or face scan step before credentials are autofilled, aiming to stop anyone with access to an unlocked phone from retrieving stored passwords.

Why now: Fresh signs that Google is reviving a previously shelved security feature have reignited discussion about mobile password protection.
