Google has added a few security tools to protect your passwords and financial information saved on Chrome's autofill better. One of these features will use biometric information, like fingerprint etc, to verify your identity when you want to use your credit card online.

Currently, these autofills on Chrome need you to type in your cards CVC number every time you use it. According to reports, once you switch to biometric authentication, you will just need to type in your CVC code only the first time you use your card. Switching to biometric authentication is wholly optional and can be accessed from Chrome's Setting page.
