Android's Identity Check feature is rolling out to Pixel and Samsung Galaxy devices

Google has started rolling out its Identity Check feature, a new setting that adds a biometric lock to certain phone and account settings when you're not in a trusted location.

With Identity Check enabled, you'll need to provide "explicit biometric authentication" to access certain account and phone settings, like changing your pin or disabling theft protection. Xbox hosted its Developer Direct showcase today, detailing progress on three games we knew about and one totally new title: Ninja Gaiden 4. Ten video games have received nominations for the 36th Annual GLAAD Media Awards, including Nintendo's remake of Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door.
