Google Chrome Password Update Feature

Google Chrome has recently introduced a new feature that makes it easier for users to update compromised passwords. This update aims to improve the security of users accounts and protect them from potential cybersecurity threats. But how exactly does this new feature work?

How does Google Chrome detect compromised passwords?

Google Chrome uses a built-in tool that checks the passwords you have stored in the browser against a list of compromised passwords. This list is compiled from various data breaches and leaks reported on the internet. When Chrome detects a compromised password, it prompts the user to update it to a more secure one.

What prompts Google Chrome to suggest a password update?

When Chrome detects a compromised password, it displays a notification in the browser interface. This notification informs the user that the password they are using has been compromised and suggests updating it for better security. Users can then click on the notification to jump directly to the password update section.
