Chrome for Android lets you change stolen passwords

No one is surprised that Chrome and other browsers warnwhen your passwords are leaked, making them unsafe for future use. However, not everyone wants to come up with and remember a new password: it's easier to ignore the warning and do nothing about it. Google seems to have figured this out and decided to take matters into its own hands.

If one of your passwords has been compromised, a new feature in Chrome on Android can change them for you with just one tap. Look for the Assistant button next to supported sites in your Password Manager. #GoogleIOpic.twitter.com/hKgpY0SnDn

The company has announced support for Duplex technology in Chrome for Android. It will automatically replace the stolen password with a secure randomized sequence, which will update immediately on all devices using your Google account and password manager.

Users of the Android version of Chrome in the US will be the first to receive the function, then it will spread to other countries - and then, probably, it will reach iOS. It is noted that quick replacement will be available only for some sites at the time of release, but subsequently their list will expand.
