How to Turn “Auto-verify” On or Off in Google Chrome
“Auto-verify” in Google Chrome automatically confirms you’re human to websites, skipping CAPTCHAs. This feature, available since Chrome version 121, speeds up your browsing by handling bot checks without you doing anything.
When you turn on Auto-verify, Chrome securely stores data that websites use to check your identity. This means fewer image puzzles or distorted text challenges to solve.
You can easily switch this setting on or off. Turning it on makes your web experience smoother, while keeping it off gives you more control over what data is shared.
Navigate to Settings > Privacy and security > Site settings > Additional content settings > Auto-verify. Toggle the switch to turn the feature on or off.
Turn “Auto-verify” on or off in Chrome
You can turn the “Auto-verify” setting on or off in Chrome to control how the browser checks websites, helping you manage your browsing and privacy. To change this setting, open Google Chrome, click the three vertical dots in the top right corner, and then pick the option that appears next.
Here’s how to do it.
Start by opening the Google Chrome browser.
Then, click the Customize and Control button (those three vertical dots) in the top right corner and select Settings.
On the Settings page, look to the left panel and click the Privacy and security link.

That should do it!
