Use Windows Hello and a Password Manager for Extra Chrome Password Protection
• Enable Windows Hello in your Windows settings to set up biometric authentication like fingerprints or facial recognition. This allows extra protection for your saved Chrome passwords.
• Go to Chrome's settings, Autofill section, Google Password Manager to turn on the "Use Windows Hello" option. This requires Windows Hello authentication before auto-filling passwords.
• A pop-up will now appear needing you to authenticate via Windows Hello before Chrome auto-fills saved passwords when logging into websites.
• Using a dedicated password manager instead of saving passwords in Chrome provides extra security, like emergency access and better 2-factor authentication.
• Further protect Chrome saved passwords by using antivirus software to block malicious password-stealing apps, and enabling 2-factor authentication on your Google account.
