GoKawiilChrome 154 brings in-browser email verification to Android
Google is rolling out its Email Verification origin trial to Chrome on Android, adding a 'Verified Email' option under Settings > Addresses with an auto-confirm toggle. The feature lets Chrome confirm a user's email address directly with a supporting email provider, skipping the usual verification email or one-time code, though both the site and provider must support Google's protocol.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
By handling verification inside the browser rather than through inbox round-trips, Chrome could streamline sign-up flows for sites that adopt the standard, though adoption will depend on both email providers and websites building support for it. Google notes this sits alongside, but separate from, Android's existing Verified Email system for apps, suggesting the company may eventually try to unify the two approaches.
- Chrome 154 extends the Email Verification origin trial to Android devices.
- A new 'Automatically confirm your emails' toggle appears under Settings > Addresses and more.
- Both the email provider and website must support Google's protocol for the feature to work.
