Summary

  • Google Chrome’s new feature, named Automatic password change, will enable the web browser to detect when a user attempts to login to a website with a weak or compromised password.
  • Rather than simply alerting the user, the browser will offer to change the password to a stronger alternative.
  • The new feature will be available on compatible websites and apps, however, no launch date has yet been announced.
  • It is hoped the new feature will boost account security for the browser’s extensive user base.
  • Additionally, Chrome is set to receive support for importing and exporting passwords and passkeys under FIDO standards, enabling a more secure login experience.
  • This new feature does not require users to export and import files.
