Google Chrome 86 for Android will notify you if your passwords have been leaked and will make it easier for you to change them

It already does in the computer and soon it will also do it on mobile: Google Chrome will also notify you on mobile when your passwords have been leaked, after the company confirmed on its blog what was an open secret: that the password review would also reach the mobile.

We now have the specific data of when, and that is that the password review, part of what Google calls Safety Check, will arrive with the next version Google Chrome 86, although you can activate it ahead of time with a chrome flag.

Are your passwords safe?

Google has announced a series of news related to security and passwords that will arrive in the next version of Google Chrome. The most important of them is that it will be possible to check your passwords, to find out if your credentials have been leaked in a hack in the past.

This password check can be carried out from the Google Chrome settings, in the Passwords section, by tapping on Check passwords. This section will be active from the factory in Google Chrome 86, although in the previous version you can use it by activating a chrome flag. To do this, you must write chrome: // flags and switch to Activated the call Bulk Password Check. It is necessary to restart the browser before starting to use it.

This is not the only security change that will come with the next version of Google Chrome, but Google has prepared the navigator so that, if it finds an insecure password, make it easy for you to change it directly taking you to the appropriate form.

In addition, Google Chrome 86 for Android will activate Enhanced Safe Browsing, which performs a number of additional security checks as you browse the web and will add more notices when a secure page includes insecure forms or downloads.
