Google is enhancing its Chrome browser's password manager. The browser will now be able to automatically change weak or compromised passwords. This announcement was made during the Google I/O conference, as reported by The Verge.

Currently, Chrome alerts users about weak or compromised passwords, but changing them usually requires manual intervention. With the new feature, if the browser detects a vulnerable password, it will suggest replacing it, and on supported websites, it will generate a strong alternative and make the changes automatically.

According to Parisa Tabriz, Google’s Vice President and head of Chrome, the team aims to blend convenience with security: “If the password change process is too complicated, users simply ignore it. Automatic changing is a win for both security and user experience.”

Chrome will not change passwords without user consent, ensuring that users remain at the center of this process, Tabriz emphasized. This feature is not yet active, as Google announced it for developers to prepare their services for a rollout scheduled for late 2025.

Additionally, this year at I/O, Google introduced a new AI Ultra pricing plan at $250 per month, a real-time translation feature for Google Meet, a new AI tool for interface design called Stitch, and smart glasses in collaboration with Xreal.
