Discussion

The autofill functionality in the web browser allows the user to complete a form that contains sensitive information, such as personally identifiable information (PII), without previous knowledge of the information. By allowing the use of autofill functionality, an adversary who learns a user's Android 14 device password, or who otherwise can unlock the device, may be able to further breach other systems by relying on the autofill feature to provide information unknown to the adversary. By disabling the autofill functionality, the risk of an adversary gaining further information about the device's user or compromising other systems is significantly mitigated.

Check Content

Review the work profile Chrome Browser app on the Google Android 14 autofill setting.

This procedure is performed only on the EMM Administrator console. 
 
On the EMM console:

1. Open "Managed Configurations" section.
2. Select the Chrome Browser version from the work profile.
3. Verify "SearchSuggestEnabled" is turned "OFF".
 
If on the EMM console autofill is set to "On" in the Chrome Browser Settings, this is a finding.

1. Open "Managed Configurations" section.
2. Select the Chrome Browser version from the work profile.
