To protect browsing history and search activities of users from uninvited prying, Google will now allow adding password protection to these pages. The feature would be very helpful as this page has everything recorded, including a user's Google Search, YouTube watch history and much more.
Whenever people use a Google device or product (Android smartphone or Chrome browser), their activity history is stored and is available for them to review via 'My Activity' feature. Anyone can see this information if they get access to the device that you're logged into. The newly added feature to the page will now prompt for verification and help protect the browsing history and search activities. Now, "if you turn on extra verification, Google will make sure it's really you before you can see or delete your full history on My Activity," the company said in an update.
