Adding Google Smart Lock to a Mac is a simple process that can help keep your personal information safe. Smart Lock allows you to set up rules for who can access your computer and when, and it also adds an extra layer of security to your computer. To add Google Smart Lock to a Mac, first open the System Preferences app and click on the Security tab. Under the General tab, you’ll need to set up two new security options: Google Smart Lock and Fingerprint Scanner. Google Smart Lock will require you to enter your Google account credentials in order to activate it. You can also use fingerprints if you have an Apple Watch or other device that supports them. If you’re using a Windows computer, you’ll need to install the Microsoft Windows 10 Creators Update in order for Google Smart Lock to work properly. Fingerprint Scanner will require you to scan your fingerprint in order for it to work. If you don’t have a fingerprint scanner on your Mac, you can use another form of authentication such as FaceTime or iCloud Keychain. Once both options are enabled, scanning your fingerprint will start automatically when you try to log into your Mac using either of those methods.
