## Description

Smart Lock lets you use a Bluetooth security key or your phone's built-in key to sign in securely. Designed for Chrome, it enables passwordless authentication with compatible devices and services.

With straightforward setup and support for standard security keys (FIDO2/WebAuthn), you can enhance protection across your browsing experience.

## Review summary

The reviews are overwhelmingly negative. Most users report the app crashes on launch or won open on iOS (especially after iOS 18), blocking access to Google accounts. Authentication problems are common, including passkey/login failures, issues with QR sign-in, and NFC/YubiKey integration. A small minority say it works as advertised, but overall reliability is poor and users want startup crashes and login issues fixed.

### Pros

- A minority of users report that the app works as advertised.

### Cons

- Crashes or won open on startup, especially after the iOS 18 update.
- Cannot log in or sign in due to passkey/authentication problems on iOS.
- QR code sign-in and Google authentication do not reliably work.
- NFC/YubiKey passkey support does not function correctly on iOS.
