Google Chrome improves the password leak notification function
Google Chrome has brought a password leak notification function in the previous version update, that is, if the password saved on Google Chrome is leaked elsewhere, there will be a prompt.
The principle of this function is that Google collects a large number of databases leaked on the Internet, and then compares user passwords with the data to detect insecure passwords that have been leaked.
When an insecure password is detected, Google Chrome will send out a reminder, allowing users to change the password as soon as possible to ensure that their website account will not be hit by the database.
However, considering that most users are too lazy to do it, Google Chrome is improving this feature so that users can immediately modify it after the browser pops up a password leak notification.
If you are using the beta version of Google Chrome, you can enable this feature via chrome://flags/#well-known-change-password flag.
After enabling it, you can go to the privacy and security settings of Google Chrome, and then go to the saved account password and click the check button behind it to get a leak prompt.
If it happens that the account password of the website is leaked, you can click “Change” immediately at the back, and then it will automatically jump to the corresponding modification page to change the password.
This feature is provided in the stable version of Google Chrome 86. The stable version of this version is expected to be released in October. Users of the stable version need to wait.
