Google Chrome will support “password clipboard” feature

The password management strategy natively provided by Google Chrome is still very practical. After encryption, these passwords can be synchronized to Google servers for storage.

When users reinstall Google Chrome or install Google Chrome on a new computer, they can directly log in to their account and synchronize the stored passwords.

However, in terms of local password management, Google Chrome believes that there is still room for improvement. The main reason is that if you want to copy the password, you need to display the password in clear text first.

In the password manager, if the user needs to copy the password, they need to click the eye mark first, so the hidden password replaced with an asterisk will be displayed in plain text.

The user can only select and copy the password and paste it in other places after it becomes the plain text display. However, the displayed password may be accidentally peeped.

For this reason, Google Chrome is currently improving the copy function of the password manager, which can copy the password directly without the need for a clear text display.

After the password is copied, it will be stored in the clipboard and then you can paste it in other places where you need to log in. The password is still hidden at the login.

The main purpose of improving this function is to prevent people from peeping behind, of course, if you are not in the company or public places, you don’t have to worry about this.

This new local password manager feature improvement is currently being tested in the Chrome Canary version. If you use the Canary version, it can be turned on via chrome://flags/#password-check flag and change its default to Enabled to restart.

After restarting the browser, go to the set password option, and then click the three dots button after the password has been saved to see the copy password option without displaying the password.
