| Google Chrome Will Automatically Change Weak Passwords to Keep Your Accounts Safer!. |
Do you often forget or just don’t feel like changing weak passwords? Don’t worry! Google Chrome is about to roll out a new feature that can help you. Soon, the browser you use every day will automatically change your password if it’s weak or has been compromised — all with just one click, and of course, only with your permission!
What’s This New Feature About?
Google is adding this feature right into Chrome’s Password Manager. Before, it would only warn you if your password wasn’t secure enough. Now, it can take action and automatically update your password for you. But don’t worry — it won’t do this without your approval. You’re still in control.
Why Is This Feature Important?
According to Parisa Tabriz, Vice President and General Manager of Chrome, most people rarely change their passwords. Why? Because it’s a hassle. That’s exactly why this new feature is being introduced — to make things easier for you while keeping your accounts safe.
“If it’s tiring or complicated, most people won’t do it. Automatic password changes are a win for both security and convenience,” said Parisa.
Coming by Late 2025
This cool feature is scheduled to launch by the end of 2025. Google is already encouraging website and app developers to prepare their systems to support it. However, it’s still unclear how many sites will support automatic password updates right from the start.
What Does This Mean for You?
It means you can browse and log in with more peace of mind. If your password is flagged as risky, Chrome will help replace it with a strong, unique one automatically. So, you won’t have to struggle coming up with complicated passwords or keep hitting “forgot password” all the time.
With this new feature, Google aims to make your online experience both safer and easier. So next time you get a security alert from Chrome, don’t ignore it! You might soon be able to change your password with just one click.
