Would you want AI to change your password automatically? Google has some good or bad news for you if you are a Chrome user.

most sophisticated Gmail attacksattacks, comes the news that you may, or may not, want to hear: Google wants you to let AI change your Chrome passwords automatically. Here’s what you need to know.

Password compromise is everywhere; there’s no other way of saying it. Cybercriminals want your password because they want access to your accounts to enable them to use your sensitive data and, ultimately, profit from the treasures that they find. Whether by way of, hardware hacking or simply gaining physical access to your device, your password is being targeted. Which is why most security experts recommend the use ofas a way to create stronger credentials and use them in the most secure way.

One of the ways that password managers can help to keep your credentials safe is to spot when they have been compromised and let you change them as quickly as possible. First spotted by the eagle-eyed, Google is introducing a rather shocking new function for users of Chrome: the ability to let AI change your passwords for you automatically. Now, I’ve called this shocking for a reason, and not everyone will agree.

Leopeva64 said: “Another AI-powered feature is coming to Chrome, Automated password change.” The description mentions that “when Chrome finds one of your passwords in a data breach, it can offer to change your password for you when you sign in.” It appears that this involves not only helping you along with the process of changing a compromised password but generating the password for you as well. What it doesn’t mean, and this is key, is that Chrome will just let the AI loose in the background to change your credentials. The feature is currently in the experimental stage, so users of the Chrome Canary version can try it out by changing the #improved-password-change-service that can be found in chrome://flags/ to enabled.
