Google\u2019s Chrome browser has added a new feature that could go a long way in preventing a form of account takeover that\u2019s grown increasingly common as users adopt two-factor authentication, passkeys, and similar protections.<\/p>\n

The new Chrome protection is known as device-bound session credentials<\/a> (DBSCs). The measure stores a unique encryption key in a silicon-resident fortress that\u2019s built into the device running the browser. On Windows machines, this fortress is called a TPM, short for Trusted Platform Module. On macOS and iOS, it\u2019s known as a secure enclave. Other platforms have differing names. Recently released versions of Chrome for Windows and macOS generate a key that\u2019s stored in this fortress.<\/p>\n

An antidote to session cookie theft<\/h2>\n

DBSCs protect against the theft of session cookies, the unique strings of characters that websites store on browsers. Session cookies greatly speed up browsing on sensitive sites that require user authentication. Instead of requiring the exchange of credentials each time a user opens a new site page, the server sets a session cookie that effectively proves the user has already successfully logged in.<\/p>\n
