You can soon log in to Google websites with fingerprint verification

SAN FRANCISCO: You will soon be able to log into Google websites and services using fingerprint-based verification rather than a password.

The company is rolling out the feature via Google Play Services update to all Android 7 and above devices in the next few days.

“We are happy to announce that you can verify your identity by using your fingerprint or screen lock instead of a password when visiting certain Google services.

“The feature is available on Pixel devices and coming to all Android 7 devices over the next few days,” said Dongjing He, Software Engineer and Christiaan Brand, Product Manager at Google, in a blog post on Monday.
