Find My Device may be getting more secure (and convenient) soon.
Back in May of this year, it was reported that Google may be working on a biometric login for the Find My Device app, and now finally the new feature has shown up. Android Authority has spotted the new login option in the code of the Find My Device app version 3.1.173-1.
The feature has not been released to the public yet, but finding evidence of it means it’s getting closer to being official now.
The new feature allows you to log into the app using biometric authentication or a PIN. Right now, Find My Device requires you to put in your password when you open the app. You can tick the “Don’t ask again” box if that’s bothersome for you, but that makes things way less secure – basically, anyone with access to your unlocked phone can get into the app and mess with your list of devices.
