Google Chrome might soon use AI to make you a better password

Google Chrome is testing a new feature that could automatically change passwords following data breaches. This potential ‘AI innovation’ aims to identify compromised passwords and offer to replace them with stronger alternatives. Despite Google’s description of this as an innovation, other password managers like Bitwarden and Nordpass have already introduced similar capabilities. While this automated password change feature may sound convenient, it’s important to remember that generating, storing, and updating passwords is a fundamental function of password managers. It remains to be seen how Chrome’s algorithm for password generation differs from existing methods and whether it offers enhanced security. Meanwhile, Google recently reported that its Enhanced Protection mode in Chrome has successfully safeguarded 1 billion users from phishing and malware attacks.
