New Chrome for Android is rolled out by Google. This browser will help users to change the passwords compromised in any breaches with just a single tap.
For your information, Chrome already introduced a new automated password change feature to check if your credentials were compromised. Now, it will also allow you to change them automatically.
When you check for stolen passwords on supported sites or apps, from now, you will be shown a “Change Password” button. Then, the Chrome will navigate the website and go through the entire password change process by its own.
Also, you will be there an option to go through the entire experience manually at any point of throughout process.
Patrick Nepper, Google Chrome Senior Product Manager, said, “Powered by Duplex on the Web, Assistant takes over the tedious parts of web browsing: scrolling, clicking and filling forms, and allows you to focus on what’s important to you.”
“And now we’re expanding these capabilities even further by letting you quickly create a strong password for certain sites and apps when Chrome determines your credentials have been leaked online.”
Google introduced the Duplex on the web back in 2019. It allows Google Assistant to complete various web tasks; including ordering food, checking into flights, buying movie tickets, and now automatically changing compromised passwords.
Nepper added, “Automated password changes are rolling out gradually in Chrome on Android, to users who sync their passwords”.
“It’s starting in the U.S., and will become available on more sites and more countries in the coming months.”
The new Chrome Android password manager announced today would also get several enhancements, including a new tool that makes it easy to import passwords from other password managers, Password alert feature that warns users of saved passwords that have been compromised via third party breach and deeper integrations with Chrome and Android to fill your password across sties and apps.
VP of the product management of Google, Sameer Samat, said today that Android OS now powers more than 3 million devices.
Third party stores like Amazon Fire or Chinese Android-based SmartPhones and tablets do not include in these stats.
