It might be easier to sign into Chrome OS soon, if the discovered code is any indication. Chrome Story spotted the possibility of Google developing facial recognition feature for its desktop operating system. There’s even mention of Intel Face Engine, which suggests this might be what would drive the feature on Chrome OS devices. But this also means it would need special hardware to get this to work because implementing this with just a front-facing camera won’t be that secure. Google hasn’t confirmed this feature but if it will come we might expect it to show up in the next generation Pixelbook.
