Google chrome already reads fingerprints on android and macos

A couple of weeks ago the design of Google Chrome was radically changed, on the occasion of its tenth anniversary. It seems that the news is still coming to the browser, which now introduces a new function. You can now read fingerprints, although the function is compatible for now with Android and macOS. A function that was originally going to be introduced a few weeks ago.

This is a function that is already present in the new beta of the browser. It offers this support for those devices that have an integrated fingerprint reader.

It already has support for Android phones that have a fingerprint sensor and those Macbooks with Touch ID. So if you have a device that has this feature, you can use this new function in Google Chrome. It can be used to verify the identity of the user, such as being able to log in without using a password. A system similar to that used in mobile phones.

At the moment there will not be many web pages that support this function. Although the hope of Google Chrome is that more and more web pages are going to introduce it officially. So users can identify themselves using their fingerprint.

This feature is already in the beta of the browser. We don't know when the stable version will arrive, although it shouldn't take too long. Then you can start using this function more generally.
