A new experimental Google Chrome feature aims to speed up the login process on websites.
According to Tech Radar, the new "Touch to Fill" feature eliminates the need to type passwords and usernames. It is currently available only in Chrome for Android, but hopefully, it will soon be offered to iOS and iPadOS.
This confirmed Tech Radar's report earlier this week that Chrome will become like a password manager that allows users to edit and manage the users' saved passwords directly. This would be a great time saver as users no longer need to log into their Google account to make necessary changes.
For Chrome Beta for Android
When using Chrome Beta for Android, the Touch to Fill feature is already up and running. This means when users visit any website, they can click on the username field, and an option to "Continue with account" would appear from the bottom.
Tap on the Next button, and the password will be auto-filled. While there is an option to manage passwords at the bottom, tapping on "Sign in" will log the user into the account.
For the release Chrome version
While it still not automatically available on this version, users can try it early by choosing to activate the appropriate flag, which switches on experimental features. In the address bar, type in Chrome://flags and look for the "touch-to-fill" feature.
Click on the drop-down menu and simply choose "Enabled" from the options. Users may then proceed with their login process. However, not all websites are currently supporting the feature while no list is provided yet of which ones allow the feature.
Regardless of what version of Chrome we use, Touch to Fill feature would make our lives much easier. After all, managing passwords can be such a task.
