Google offers a password checking service that will check all of your Chrome-saved passwords for weaknesses and against known breaches.

With a tool called Password Checkup, the Google AI will comb through your vast array of authentication credentials to let you know if you have a password associated with a breach.

The Google Password checker runs its checks against all passwords saved in Chrome-if you're an Android or Chrome user, you're all set.

Head over to the Google Password Manager and click to open the Password Checkup tool, or you could simply head over to the tool directly.

With most of these accounts, I've changed the passwords, but the Google Password Checker continues to instruct me to change them.

Since I no longer use Chrome as my default browser, the saved password in my Google Account still assumes the previous password to be in play.
