Google Chrome Will Soon Automatically Change Your Compromised Passwords for You

Google is testing a new feature called Automated Password Changein the PC version of Chrome Canary, as reported by Windows Report. This experimental feature automatically updates compromised passwords by using AI to simplify the password-changing process on supported websites.

When Chrome detects that a saved password has been compromised in a data breach, it will prompt you to change it. Instead of your manual intervention, the browser's AI can handle it for you, going to the relevant websites and updating the password automatically.

The Automated Password Change feature is currently hidden behind experimental Chrome flags. Users interested in testing it can follow these steps:

1. Download and launch the latest version of Chrome Canary.

2. Enable the following flags via `chrome://flags`:

3. Improved Password Change Service: Offers automatic password changes for leaked credentials.

4. Mark All Credentials as Leaked: Triggers a leaked credential dialog for testing purposes.

5. Restart Chrome.

Once enabled, Chrome will offer automatic password changes for compromised credentials during sign-in attempts on supported websites. Updated passwords are saved in Google Password Manager.

With data breaches becoming more frequent, many users struggle to keep their accounts secure. Practices like reusing passwords or failing to update compromised credentials leave accounts vulnerable to attacks.

The Automated Password Change feature remains in its testing phase and is currently only available for select websites.
