Google’s Chrome browser is on the verge of receiving an exciting security enhancement: the ability to identify passwords compromised in data breaches and offer improved replacements. This feature, described as an “AI innovation,” is currently in its early stages, and specific details about its functionality remain unclear.

Prominent software investigator Leopeva64 discovered a new feature within the AI settings of an early version of Chrome. Labeled “Automated Password Change,” this option suggests, “When Chrome detects that one of your passwords has been compromised in a data breach, it can automatically propose a password update when you log in.”

Currently, Chrome alerts users if their passwords appear in known breaches and recommends changing them. According to Windows Report, the new feature will proactively change the compromised password for users instead of simply suggesting they do it themselves. The updated password will be securely stored in Google’s Password Manager and is claimed to be encrypted and inaccessible to anyone else.

If you’re interested in testing this feature, you’ll need to download the Canary version of Chrome. Once installed, navigate to the flags settings by entering “chrome://flags” in the address bar and enable two specific features: “Improved password change service” and “Mark all credentials as leaked.” The latter option will trigger the change notification, as the system may not yet be connected to actual leaked password databases. To see the functionality in action, visit almost any non-Google website, attempt to log in with a username and password, and after a failed attempt or once you navigate away, a prompt will pop up inviting you to consider updating your password.
