Google ' Allow ' forgot password

Users should now not remember passwords when they enter Google services. The company announced today, users can verify their identity on some Google services on the web by using a fingerprint or a screen lock, instead of a password.

As a prefix, Pixel smartphone owners will get this new feature. Over the next few days, the feature will be rolled out to other Android devices running Android 7 Nougat and higher.

Using FIDO2 standard authentication, users only need to register their fingerprints or screen locks on their phones once to be able to use them on Internet-compatible apps or Google service sites.

On this announcement, Google also confirms that fingerprints are never sent to Google servers and stored securely on the user's phone. Google's servers receive the user's fingerprint scanner correctly in a message that is camouflaged using cryptography.

And users can test how well this new system works by running a little test on Android devices. First, your device must be running Android Nougat or higher and contain a Google account. The device must have a valid screen lock such as a fingerprint scanner, PIN or pattern lock.

Then, you follow these instructions:

Open the Chrome browser on your device and go to https://passwords.google.com

Choose a site for viewing or a password to manage

Follow the instructions to verify you're signed in.

"The benefits of using FIDO2 on Android is the biometric capability of the fingerprint scanner, for the first time now available on the web, allowing the same credentials to be used in native applications and Web services. This means users only need to register their fingerprints to the service once and then it will work for native applications and Web services. "-Google

To enjoy this feature, there's nothing to do to set anything up on your Android phone.
