Login credentials are compromised all the time, and once a password is out in the open, it’s no longer secure. Websites like Have I Been Pwned? help users figure out which passwords are secure and which aren’t, but starting today, Google is helping the cause as well by launching a new Chrome extension called Password Checkup. With this extension, Chrome will automatically let you know when you’re using a password that’s been compromised.
Google says that it will compare both usernames and passwords to a know collection of 4 billion login credentials known to be compromised. You’ll be alerted that your login credentials have been leaked in the past and prompted to change your password.
