Unfortunately, having problems with passwords in the many online services that exist is something that has become common. The reason is that from time to time some pages see their security and the user database they have compromised. The solution is to change the information, something that can be cumbersome and boring. Well, there is good news in this regard, since the Google assistant will be your best ally. Not long ago, the Mountain View company announced that it will gradually roll out a function in its Chrome browser that notifies users if there are problems with the credentials on the website where they access and have an account (something that, for true, it already offers Edge from Microsoft). This is an excellent tool that allows everyone to know if they may have security problems and therefore take action on them. How this option works in the browser Well, quite simply: a pop-up window appears indicating that there is a data exposure problem and, consequently, that it would be advisable to proceed with a change to maintain high security at the time to use the service in question. This is very useful, but keep in mind that not all websites are compatible with this option yet, although little by little they are all adapting because it is a good solution for everyone. It is important to know that it is necessary to have the function activated in the Google browser, something that can be done in the following way in the Android version in case you do not see that this option is executed automatically: Open the application and press on the icon with three points in the upper right area. In the menu that appears use Settings. Now use the Passwords option in the Autofill section and if you use the latest version of Chrome, you will see the Passwords function instead. Click on Verify passwords once you access the previous option and then , the application will carry out the corresponding checks and if it detects security problems, it will issue the warning indicated above. What does the Google assistant have to do with it? Well, as you can see after this paragraph, this service from the North American company is one of the options offered when it comes to being able to change a compromised password. Thus, a button appears in the warning window that did not exist before, which directly allows Google’s assistant to automatically make the change and store the information in its encrypted database. Simpler, impossible. By the way, what we are commenting on right now is only available in the Android version of Chrome, so you cannot activate its use either in the iOS version itself or in the one used on computers. But, yes, it has been confirmed that in a short time this possibility will also be offered in all the applications of the well-known browser. >
