The corporation has just distributed some security tips for Chrome users via a blog post. Incognito tabs should be locked when the user logs out of their Chrome session to prevent accidental access. When they return to the office, they will be able to use biometric authentication to enter the incognito tab in Chrome.
In the blog post, Google stated that the feature is currently available to all Chrome users on iOS and is in the process of rolling out to Android users.
How to enable incognito tab lock in Android Chrome?
To do this, navigate to the settings menu of the Chrome app on your Android phone and then tap on the Privacy and security option. In this section, toggle the “Lock incognito tabs when closing Chrome” switch to the ON position.
Once enabled, if you try to use the incognito tab after the device has been locked, you will be prompted to use the screen lock to access the tab. This notice will appear every time you want to use the incognito tab. Public tabs will not be affected in any way by the new feature.

- Keep your desktop and mobile devices secure by running the Chrome check regularly. If it finds any compromised credentials or dangerous extensions, it will notify you immediately.

- Turn on history sync or choose Enhanced Safe Browsing for faster, more proactive protection against potentially harmful websites, downloads, and extensions.
- Using Google Password Manager on iOS, Android and desktop. Create strong passwords, keep track of them, and have them autofill on your computer or mobile device with the help of Google Password Manager. It’s built right into Chrome, and if you sync your passwords with your Google account, you’ll be able to access and use your saved passwords in Chrome on your mobile device and desktop.
