Details about password protection in Google Chrome

Browsing websites, social media, and apps is an everyday thing. Our profile as a user is worth a lot because we provide information of all kinds. In each click we provide data on our tastes, consumption, political positions and customs. In addition, many platforms and programs handle sensitive information such as credit card data, bank accounts and purchases.
Security in Google Chrome is one of the strongest points of the web-surfing software offered by Google. The system was born in 2008, is available for computers and mobile devices and is the most widely used globally.
The news about updates to Google Chrome are usually related to measures to improve the user experience in terms of security and accessibility. Since 2019, the most important browser tool in the world of the internet has advanced in modifications to improve the control of people's passwords and in 2020, in the new update of Google Chrome, this function will be easily accessible.

A special division for security

Much of the news about Google Chrome is about actions to protect users. In 2019 a special office was created in Munich dedicated exclusively to developing improvements for protection during navigation. The team was called the Google Safety Engineering Center.
The center was the one that in December 2019 developed much of an important change in relation to the management and protection of passwords in Google Chrome.

Prevent password theft

One of the known techniques on the internet to attack people is what is known as phishing. The methodology is basically about stealing sensitive user data such as passwords.
One of the novelties of Google Chrome in 2019 was to take actions focused on helping people prevent this from happening to them. The browser configured that for any user who is registered with a Google account, it would automatically control the passwords that the person used.
That is, if Google Chrome detected that a password (from any site on the web) was used on sites that suffered attacks or leaks, it would warn the person to change it. At first the option had to be activated when synchronizing the websites with Google Chrome but then it was automatically introduced. In addition, security control would be applied to the data that the user had stored in the password manager that Google Chrome offers.
To avoid confusion, in situations where different users use the same device, Google made it easy to recognize the account you are working on by adding the profile image in the upper right margin. This was done in order to save the password in the desired profile and not in the wrong one.

Better accessibility in 2020

One of the problems that many people suffer is that of not finding the options for the configurations in an easy and fast way. The latest update and news about Google Chrome in 2020 will make things easier for everyone.
The important point of Google Chrome version 83 released in May 2020 is to make privacy and security controls more intuitive. In this way, in order to activate the option in order to analyze and protect passwords from malicious sites, the user can do so by simply clicking on the upper right margin of the screen and entering the 3 small dots that appear there. Then click on Settings and the panel that appears is what is now called You and Google. In the Privacy and Security section, the More option is chosen and from there Google Chrome is enabled to warn us about the possibility that our passwords are vulnerable.

News about Google Chrome and its updates in 2020 to facilitate access to password management, demonstrate that the company remains vigilant to provide people with an easy and secure experience. In turn, this requires users to pay attention and closely follow the new versions of the popular browser.
