The compromise passwords, it is soon finished on Google Chrome

Retailer “The latest tools and good practices to improve registration and connection to your website”Google seems to have taken the field of security to heart, increasingly undermined by the resurgence of cyber attacks.

This is how we discover a section evoking the automatic modification of passwords. After the integration of this novelty by the developers, the sites will simply be able to operate with the chrome password manager.

“When Chrome detects a compromise password when connection, the password manager offers the user to correct it automatically”explains Google. Consequently, the modification process is supported by the browser, informing the user of his progress in the address bar.

When the modification is finished, Chrome shares information via a pop-up window, while allowing the new password to be visualized. A novelty that has its sense in the face of insufficient compromising alerts to encourage change of passwords.

Parisa Tabriz, Vice-President and Chief Executive Officer of Chrome, also explained the thing before Google I/O 2025: “If you are told that your password is weak, it is annoying to have to change it. And we know that if something is annoying, people will not really do it. This is why the automatic change in password is a good thing for security and simplicity of use. users ”*.

The ball is now in the hands of the developers, who must adapt their website to the new Google Chrome tool. It remains to be seen how quickly this novelty will be adopted, while the security of user data becomes an increasingly central subject.
