Chrome Android uses feature for payment using biometrics

Google has added several security tools to the Chrome browser for Android that will help protect payment information saved by the user in the browser. Users can now verify their identity when making bank card payments using biometric fingerprint authentication.
Often, users save their bank card details in the browser so that, in the future, using the auto-complete function, they can quickly enter them in the appropriate fields when shopping online. However, this does not apply to the card's CVC code, which must be manually entered each time. If you activate the biometric authentication function, you will no longer need to enter the CVC code with each new purchase. Just do this during the first use of the card and, in the future, to confirm the identity, you will need to pass authentication by fingerprints.
You can enable biometric authentication in Chrome’s settings. Currently, the tool to protect the user's bank card data is already available for Windows and Mac devices and, in the coming weeks, it will be launched for users of the Android version of Chrome.
Another new feature coming soon in Chrome for Android is how to sign in to websites using the autocomplete feature. When multiple accounts are saved in the browser password manager, users need to scroll through the form fields, one by one, to select the desired data. Now, users will be able to immediately select the desired account, which should be used to log in to a specific website.
