Google Identity Check will help protect your accounts in case of device theft

Last year, Google introduced several theft protection features for Android, including Theft Detection Lock, Offline Device Lock and Remote Lock. Identity Check is the latest security feature that aims to prevent thieves from accessing your digital accounts in case of theft.

The feature will require biometric authentication for certain device settings when you are not in a trusted location. If your device is outside one of these locations, you will need to authenticate using your biometrics. This will prevent thieves from changing your device PIN, biometrics, turning off Find My Device, accessing Passkeys or factory resetting your device.

Identity Check is coming to Pixel phones running Android 15 (Pixel 6 and up) and will also make its way to Samsung devices running One UI 7 in the coming weeks. Google also confirmed the feature will make its way to other Android OEMs later this year.
