Google allows you to encrypt the history of your activity on its services

Use of any Internet service will always be associated with the possibility that your activity is recorded in it. Mostly due to subsequent targeted advertising. Because not many users like it, so does their company Google seeks to appease new privacy options. The latest is according to the portal AndroidPolice the ability to secure the history of your activity in its services with a password.

Optional extra verification will be added to My Activity

When you use a Google product, such as your Android smartphone, speaker with Google Assistant, or Chrome, your activity history is stored on the company’s servers. You can then review it through My Activity in your Google Account.

My activity also stores which apps you used that day or which places you viewed on Google Maps. Because all of this data is private and sensitive to most people, Google has just added another optional layer of security so that only you can access it. In addition to the usual verification when signing in to your Google Account, you’ll also be verified when you start My Activity.

Authentication is useful when signing in on multiple devices

One of the reasons Google has taken this step is to sign in to your account multiple times on different devices. This also increases the risk of stealing your activity history if you leave your sign-in on another device unsecured. When you select another layer of security, you will now be asked to verify the identity of each device before viewing the history.

This will redirect you to the regular Google sign-in page, which will allow you to either enter a password or unlock your account using your Android device. If you are bothered by storing a detailed history, remember that you can still delete and check it in the settings Activity management.
