Changing passwords is an important part of online security, but with the number of accounts out there, it's becoming increasingly difficult. Now Google Chrome can help you change your passwords automatically.

Here's What We Know

X user, @Leopeva64, discovered code pointing to this feature.

This feature is not yet publicly available as it is still in testing. Therefore, it is not yet possible to say exactly when Google will release it to all users. In addition, there is a possibility that the company may cancel it altogether.

What exactly will change? If your password is compromised due to a data breach, Chrome will offer to automatically change it when you log in to your account. You won't have to worry that your password will change without your knowledge.

As soon as Google detects a security breach, it will prompt you to automatically change your password. After that, the new password will be updated in Google Password Manager, and you won't need to remember it.

Google introduced this feature as part of its artificial intelligence, and it is currently in testing, so you can expect some bugs. This feature has been available before, but this time the process has been greatly simplified and users will need to follow fewer steps.

Although the release date of this feature is not yet known, it can be very useful, as hackers often gain access to company data, and it is not always easy to keep track of all leaks. Automatically updating passwords can help improve user security online.
