The latest updates to Chrome Canary include a new automatic password change feature that uses artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. This feature is available to users after enabling the corresponding parameter in the "flags".
Advertisеment
One of the key tasks of this feature is to protect users from using compromised passwords. If Chrome detects that a saved password in the password manager has been lost or has become known to intruders, the system will show a warning when attempting to log in to the site.
If the user agrees, the browser will automatically generate a new strong password that will be difficult to guess due to the use of modern algorithms. After that, the AI system will find the password change form on the site, fill it out and send the data, and then update the entry in the Chrome password manager.
Enable AI Automatic Password Change in Google Chrome
If you're using the experimental Chrome Canary version and want to try out the new Improved Password Change Service, follow these steps to enable the feature via Chrome's flags settings.
- Launch the Google Chrome Canary browser on your computer.
- In the address bar at the top of the browser window, type the following URL and press Enter: chrome://flags/. This will open the experimental features page, where you can toggle various flags to test new or modified functionalities.
- Search for the Improved Password Change Service flag, use the search bar at the top of the page. The specific flag (chrome://flags/#improved-password-change-service) should appear in the results.
- Once you find the #improved-password-change-service flag, click the dropdown menu next to it. From the options, select Enabled .
- After enabling the flag, you'll see a prompt at the bottom of the page saying, "Relaunch." The changes won’t take effect until you relaunch the application.
That's it.
If you run into issues or decide you no longer want to test the feature, return to chrome://flags/, find the same flag, and set it back to Default (or disable it).
The password compromise check feature has been available in Chrome for about 5 years. It compares logins and passwords with a database of accounts that have been compromised as a result of various data leaks. To protect the privacy of users, it uses hash prefix verification technology, with which full hashes and the passwords themselves never leave the user's device.
The new implementation of the automatic password change feature using AI simplifies the process of updating security data. Thanks to intelligent algorithms, the browser is able to analyze the structure of web forms and perform actions without user intervention. This makes the process faster and more convenient. However, it is good idea to use it in a trusted environment to minimize potential risks.
