Google is reportedly working on a handy new feature for Chrome. The browser may soon offer the option of automatically changing passwords for accounts that are thought to have been compromised.

According to leaks published on social networks, Google is preparing to launch a new feature called "Automatic Password Change” in Chrome. The idea is that when Chrome finds one of your passwords in a list of compromised data, it can suggest that you change it the next time you want to log in to the account in question. Note that there is no need to memorise the updated password since it is automatically saved, encrypted, in your Google Password Manager.
