These can be found in the section Settings → Passwords, access keys and autofill → Google → Preferences.

In the new developer version of Chrome with the label Canary there have now been indications that biometric verification will be done before passwords are filled mandatory. However, this should only apply when the smartphone is in an untrusted location, which in practice means situations where you are connected to public Wi-Fi networks. Many other Android applications already offer a similar security feature.
