Google Chrome brings fingerprint security for Incognito tabs
Google has introduced a new feature for its Chrome app to further enhance the security and privacy of Android users and meet their expectations. The company will now let its Android users add fingerprint unlock to access Incognito tabs in the Chrome app.
First spotted by 9To5Google, the new feature will require biometric authentication when you resume an Incognito session that was interrupted. In order to use it, you first need to open Chrome settings in the app, enter the Privacy and Security section and turn on the “Lock incognito tabs when you close Chrome” toggle.

Enabling or disabling this option will require verification. In case you don’t want to add fingerprint unlock security, you can also use a PIN. Once you turn this feature, the splash screen appears immediately after you exit Chrome, which can come in handy when giving your phone to someone with whom you do not want to share your personal stuff.

Do note that fingerprint unlock security for Incognito tabs is currently not available to all Android users of Google Chrome as of Chrome 109. The company is expected to soon expand it, however, you can also enable this flag to get the feature immediately.
Aside from this feature, Google Chrome is also expanding Safety Check with more personalized recommendations and reminders about websites you’ve previously shared with you and finding those controls in one place to revoke permissions and protect your privacy.
