Google took advantage of Google I/O, its annual developer conference, to present several of its projects related to authentication and identity validation in Chrome. In addition to presenting a new login interface for all your credentials (passwords, access keys, etc.), Google intends to strengthen the security of your passwords.
Chrome will be able to automatically change compromised passwords
To allow you to monitor and better protect your passwords, Google's web browser is already able to analyze and detect those that have been compromised. Chrome can tell you when your logins and passwords have been found in online data leaks. When this is the case, the browser also prompts you to take the necessary measures, including changing your password on the platform in question.
But Chrome will soon be able to go even further. On compatible sites, Google's web browser will soon be able to automatically change your compromised passwords.
The operation, which is fully automated, will only be triggered if you have decided to do so. Chrome will then generate a new, secure password on the platform and automatically replace it in the password manager.
To make its system as efficient as possible, Google also encourages developers to take certain steps to optimize their website to support this feature. They will therefore need to ensure that they optimize the automatic entry on their site, but above all provide a redirection to their password change form.
