Google has introduced a new Android security feature that complements the one it introduced last year. One protects you in certain phones thefts and the other confirms your identity.
Apple has a similar feature for confirming identity, not sure which implementations I like better.
As our phones carry more and more of our critical data it is imperative that we secure them. Most people aren't even aware that the password managers may be harvesting passwords or you may have started using Passkeys.
Like all other security features it is critically important to understand how to use them, what there limitations are and how you, as the owner can gain access. Do not enable the feature until you have done your homework.
I strongly recommend that all mobile phone users ensure there device is being supported with security patches. No need to give the bad guys an easy route in.
