Chrome browser now warns users when their passwords have been stolen
Most notable among the changes is a new feature that warns users when their passwords have been stolen, helping protect them from identity theft and other issues that can result from compromised credentials.
Online accounts hold vast amounts of information on any given person, including their spending habits, medical records, entertainment preferences, and more.
As well, certain accounts may contain personal information that includes everything from ones address to Social Security numbers, making it particularly important to keep the accounts secure.
Most of the time, these compromised individuals arent aware of the fact that their information has been leaked, leaving them vulnerable to identity theft, financial fraud, and more.
In addition to the password warnings, Google says that Chrome now gives users real-time phishing protection, assuming theyre using the browser on desktop, plus the company has expanded its predictive phishing protections.
