Overview
- Google says sensitive entries are saved only with permission, protected by encryption, and filled only after user confirmation.
- The update is rolling out globally in all languages for desktop starting Nov. 3, with mobile not included at launch.
- Supported fields include passport and driver’s license numbers plus vehicle license plates and VINs, with more data types planned.
- Enhanced autofill is off by default and can be enabled via Settings > Autofill and passwords > Enhanced autofill, where users can add, edit, or delete entries.
- Chrome may share a page’s URL and content to improve suggestions, and security professionals recommend strong account protections, careful extension use, and considering dedicated vaults for sensitive IDs.
