New updates for the Chrome browser were introduced in the keynote on Google I / O 2021. This includes improvements to the built-in password manager. The browser can now quickly and securely detect a breach and fix compromised passwords using Google’s duplex technology. Google Chrome allows you to change passwords with the touch of a button and automatically change compromised passwords. In addition, the new Google Chrome tab now shows shopping carts that you have left behind on various websites on the internet.
Google is using Duplex on the web to deliver these new improvements to Chrome’s password manager. This technology was introduced in 2019 to power the Google Assistant and perform tasks on the web like buying movie tickets. With this new technology built into Chrome, users can now change their passwords with a single touch of a button. Google can regularly search for passwords on some websites. If a password that has been compromised is found, a new “Change Password” button will appear. Tapping the button will change the password for this site.
The duplex technology expands so that users can quickly create a strong password for specific websites and apps if Chrome detects that their login information has been lost online. “You can control the entire experience and manually complete the process of changing the password from the start or at any point during the process. And even if a website is not yet supported, Chrome’s password manager can always help you create secure and unique passwords for your various accounts, ”says Google on its blog.
According to Google, automated password changes in Chrome on Android are gradually being rolled out for users who sync their passwords. The changes will initially be introduced in the United States and will be available in additional locations and countries in the coming months.
Chrome also aims to improve browser shopping by helping users keep track of shopping carts on supported websites. People often leave a website adding items to their cart but closing the tab before checking out. These shopping cart websites are now displayed on Chrome’s New Tab page so that users can purchase the items the next time they visit Chrome. According to its own information, Google uses the browser history stored on the device to activate this function. Google also says it is “working with retailers to convince customers of loyalty benefits sooner and make their decisions”.
