TL;DR
- Google drops the biometric requirement in Find Hub, making it quicker to access your Devices or People lists.
- Biometric checks aren’t gone completely — the app may still ask for verification after inactivity or if you sign out.
- The update is rolling out via a server-side change.
If you often misplace your keys or just like knowing where your things are, you probably keep Google’s Find Hub handy. Still, the app’s strong security has been both helpful and frustrating. It keeps your location data safe, but having to use a fingerprint or PIN every time you check whether your wallet is in the car can be annoying. Now, Google is making things easier by letting you choose the level of security you want.
Google has quietly removed a biometric requirement from its Find Hub app (previously called Find My Device), making it faster to access your Devices or People lists, as reported by 9to5Google.
