Google Chrome is looking to make it easier for users to autofill their payment details using the ‘screen lock’ across platforms. We’ve already seen how you will soon be able to use Windows Hello to autofill and authenticate payments on the desktop. Now, the latest report suggests that the said authentication feature is in the works for Chrome for Android as well.
When Google Chrome rolls out this feature to all users, it would make it super easy to move past the process of inputting your credit card details. The autofill will be done with just a scan of your fingerprint. It’s currently unclear whether Chrome will allow entry-level smartphone users with no fingerprint scanner to employ their screen lock PIN or pattern for authentication. The ‘screen lock’ keyword makes it sound like it would.
