It’s been a big week for Google, with the company unveiling Material You for Android 12 and much more at I/O 2021. A big part of the past few days has been focused on privacy, and the search giant is aiming to make your “My Activity” usage history more protected with the addition of extra password verification.
9to5Google was first to spot the addition of a new optional feature on the My Activity page. When enabled, Google will require users to enter a password to see full usage history. The new feature might come in handy on devices that are shared, like a family computer.
Now, when you navigate to your My Activity Page, there’s a new option for “Manage My Activity verification.” When you click on it, a prompt will appear that will allow users to turn on extra verification before private information is revealed.
