Google Chrome Password Manager Security

June 9, 2023
Reading Time: 2 mins read
in News

 

Google Chrome is introducing new security features for its built-in Password Manager, aiming to simplify password management and protect users from account hijacking attacks. The Password Manager, which is integrated into Google’s services, allows users to manage and autofill credentials across various Google software products.

While storing passwords in a web browser exposes them to potential theft by information-stealing malware, users who follow sound security practices can benefit from the convenience of Google Password Manager with minimal concern.

Google has announced five new features to enhance the security of data stored in Password Manager and mitigate risks. The first addition is a dedicated desktop shortcut for easy access and management of stored account credentials, including modifying autofill settings.

Another significant feature is the introduction of biometric authentication on desktop platforms, providing an extra layer of security through fingerprints or facial recognition before auto-filling passwords.

Additionally, users can now save custom notes with each saved login, allowing for the storage of additional information required to log in, such as security questions or PINs. Furthermore, Password Manager now supports importing passwords from other password managers, making the transition easier for users.

Lastly, the Password Checkup tool, which alerts users about exposed passwords, now flags weak and reused passwords on the mobile Chrome iOS app.

While storing passwords in a web browser carries inherent risks, Google’s efforts to strengthen Password Manager security are vital in ensuring the safety of millions of accounts.

Despite the potential dangers, many users still rely on browser-based password storage due to its ease of use and constant prompts to save passwords. Therefore, these enhancements are a welcome step towards improving account security and protecting users from potential threats.
