- Google Chrome is testing an AI-powered automated password change feature in Canary.
- The feature kicks in once Chrome detects breached passwords and can automatically change them for you.
- If adopted, it would be the latest part of Google’s broader push to integrate AI across Chrome’s features.
As more aspects of our digital lives receive an AI overhaul, Google may be about to utilize the technology to better protect your online accounts. Once Google Chrome has identified that the password you are currently using for a website has been detected in a data breach, a new automated password change feature would use AI to help you update it automatically.
The new feature was spotted in Chrome Canary by X user Leopeva64. Under a new AI Innovations section of the settings menu, the Automated password change option advises 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.” After generating a new password, it would be added to Google Password Manager.
