Chrome now automatically fixes breached passwords on Android
2021-05-18 20:22

Google is rolling out a new Chrome on Android feature to help users change passwords compromised in data breaches with a single tap.

Chrome already helped you check if your credentials were compromised and, with the rollout of the new automated password change feature, it will also allow you to change them automatically.

Now, whenever checking for stolen passwords on supported sites and apps, Google Assistant will display a "Change password" button that will instruct Chrome to navigate to the website and go through the entire password change process on its own.

Duplex on the Web was introduced back in 2019 to allow Google Assistant to help users complete various web tasks easier, including ordering food, checking into flights, buying movie tickets, and now automatically changing compromised passwords.

"Automated password changes are rolling out gradually in Chrome on Android, to users who sync their passwords," Nepper added.

Deeper integrations with Chrome and Android to seamlessly fill your passwords across sites and apps, regardless of whether you're on desktop or mobile.
