Google continues its efforts to protect its users. The Mountain View company inaugurated a new feature last year allowing Google Assistant to ensure that your passwords have not been hacked.
Currently, the wizard checks your credentials against a database of compromised passwords. From now on, he will offer you to change them more quickly in the event of a leak in order to block access to a possible attacker.
Change your compromised password with Google Assistant
Max Weinbach, from the website Android Police, has revealed that this new alert system will be triggered as soon as Google detects a leak of personal data on a site where you have an account, which the intelligent assistant will only know if you entrust it with the management of your passwords. pass. From there, he will be able to modify the compromised code directly with almost nothing to do.

Google Assistant will then show a window with a “Change Password” button that will take you to the corresponding site on Chrome and change the password for you. You can choose your own code or let the browser’s built-in password manager create an ultra-secure one. However, the feature will not be able to work with all websites. The feature is currently rolling out and it looks like it’s available to most Chrome users on Android.
