"Google Launches New Security and Privacy Features to Mark Safer Internet Day"

Google announced its new security and privacy initiatives on Safer Internet Day. Among these are new methods for easily and securely entering passwords in Chrome, increased privacy protection for the Google app, enhancements to Google Password Manager, and an expansion of SafeSearch's protection against certain content. Before filling a saved password, Chrome and Android's built-in Password Manager can now use biometric authentication to verify a user's identity. This capability can also be used to reveal, copy, or edit passwords in a secure manner. Face ID will be added to the Google App for iOS to preserve the privacy of the app, preventing unauthorized access to a user's data even if their device gets into the wrong hands. Google blocks a significant amount of phishing attempts and urges the use of multi-factor authentication (MFA). In 2023, Google will boost its anti-phishing efforts by offering 100,000 free Titan Security Keys to individuals at the highest risk of targeted attacks. Google has partnered with the International Foundation for Electoral Systems (IFES) to provide free security training and tools to journalists, politicians, and more who are most at risk of having their accounts compromised. This article continues to discuss the new security and privacy features announced by Google.
