Find out how to use Google Smart lock on your Chrome OS computer. Google Smart Lock allows you to log into your Chromebook or Chromebox without the need of entering a password.
Instead, you can log in by simply tapping your avatar, which will log you into your account.
There are two different options for using Smart Lock. The default setting will simply unlock your screen after you've locked it. The other option is to set it so you can also log in to your Chromebook as long as your phone is unlocked and nearby.
If you want to unlock your Chromebook with your phone. Then this video is the one to watch.

Thank you for this clear video but it appears the latest update changed so that the 'Screen Lock Options' are no longer available in Chrome OS so that you will only be able to unlock your device after you’ve already signed in. You will no longer be able to sign in with Smart Lock after a reboot. I liked this option since I always had my phone handy on my belt holster. I suggest petitioning Google to restore the option. No one is forced to use it

I did hear about some changes. I guess it's for security purposes.

I'm not very computer savy (I'm old! ) I only have my chrome bk for home use. I just received my new chrome book yesterday my old one did not have this function If I DON'T wish to switch on Smart Lock as I fear it will cause me a lot of confusion, is it ok to just leave it as it is without doing anything? I'd be very grateful for your advice, sincerely Maresi L

Yes, you don't need to use smartlock. That's absolutely fine.

Am I correct in assuming this feature won't work on older Chromebooks whose OS reached end of support?

@ChromeComputingTV 4 месяца назад

As far as I'm aware, only if your Chromebook support ended before this feature was released.

Could have been more informative... I'd suggest adding an update/part 2 that includes any consequences to other apps or functionality when using smart lock. Does it block some authenticator apps from working? On Chrome OS it does for me.

I noticed even if my phone is far away and its unlocked, someone could just unlock the chrome OS device... this is very not secure.... unless you walk completely out of the house it will open...

This login setup for Chromebook makes me not want to be happy with the machine. Terrible system to log in. You complex password, please but you can't remember it when it's complex, so you have to look it up each time. Bad feature! And now this person says feature not available. Tempted to return the Chromebook.

Doesn't work on Chrome OS Flex, as so many things ... Disappointing. Why does Google implement a feature in flex when its unusable?

@ChromeComputingTV 3 месяца назад

It's not really about flex. Since this video was made it has also changed on ChromeOS, which I believe was due to a security floor.

Works fine if you have a pixel phone and pixel Chromebook. Restricted on some other devices as far as I'm aware. Works fine for me, but I am using a pixel phone and a pixel Chromebook.
