Google has introduced a security feature called Identity Check for Android, which locks sensitive settings behind biometric authentication when users move beyond designated trusted locations. This feature requires biometric verification to access critical functions like saved passwords, device reset options, and account management, effectively reducing the risk of unauthorized access. Users can enable Identity Check through their device settings and set trusted places. The feature aims to bolster account security against potential threats, offering greater peace of mind to users.
Identity Check gives you more peace of mind that your most sensitive device assets are protected against unauthorized access, even if a thief or bad actor manages to learn your device PIN.
The goal of Identity Check is to prevent bad actors from taking control of your Google Account and accessing features that could then enable them to steal data or otherwise compromise the security of your device.
