Google is developing a new feature for the Chrome browser that will allow you to automatically change passwords that have been compromised as a result of a data breach. The innovation uses artificial intelligence to simplify and speed up the process.
According to Android Authority, the feature was mentioned in Chrome Canary, an experimental version of the browser where new features are tested before their large-scale implementation.
In the "AI Innovations" settings section, there is an "Automated password Change" option that states, "When Chrome finds one of your passwords in a data breach, it can offer to change your password for you when you sign in."
The generated new password will automatically be added to Google Password Manager.

For several years now, Chrome has warned users about compromised passwords, prompted them to change them, and given them the option to generate a new, stronger password. The new AI-powered feature aims to improve and simplify this process.
As a reminder, Google has also developed a new feature for its Chrome browser on devices - any page can now be listened to.
