Google wants to help its users in data security. To this end, it will inform us of the required password change.

The American giant is to work on the function of detecting password leaks. It would consist of tracking and directly checking the data we enter. If we enter the password, it would automatically be checked in the global database. If our string is detected, we would immediately receive special information encouraging its change.

The feature is not yet active and is currently in experimental testing. However, interested persons can run it in chrome://flags settings and then search for the phrase “leak” and change it to “Password leak detection“. However, Google does not guarantee its correct operation.
