Chrome’s password manager will now allow for automated password change
The new feature helps reduce friction, Google says
Passwords remain the number one authentication method
Users can now change compromised passwords directly in their Chrome browser, in just a few clicks. This is the promise given in a new Google blog discussing the extensive changes the company is bringing to user authentication and identity verification.
Most browsers already come with a (rudimentary form of) password manager, allowing users to generate strong passwords, store their credentials, and auto-fill them for speed and convenience.
