Google Chrome for iOS and Android will check if newly saved passwords have been compromised
GOOGLE CHROME FOR IOS AND ANDROID WILL
CHECK IF NEWLY SAVED PASSWORDS HAVE
BEEN COMPROMISED
INTRODUCTION
• Google is bringing improvements to password
security and other safety features on Chrome
for Android and iOS.
• The browser will alert you if any of the
passwords you've asked it to save have been
compromised, and lead you straight to the right
‘change password' form.

HOW IT WORKS?
• Chrome sends a copy of your username and
passwords to Google using a special form of
encryption – this lets Google check them against
lists of credentials known to be compromised,
without deriving your username or password.

SUPPORT FOR A WEB STANDARD
• Google has added support for a Web standard that
allows websites to declare the password change
URLs for easy access.
• The use of this standard will allow Chrome take
users directly to the right webpage to change
password after alerting that a particular has been
compromised in a data leak.

FEATURES IN CHROME 86
• Google will also be introducing a few other
features in Chrome 86 that is rolling out now, to
improve user security.
• It will also block or warn on some insecure
downloads initiated by secure pages.

ENHANCED SAFE BROWSING FOR
ANDROID
• It will also be launching Enhanced Safe Browsing for
Android, through which Chrome can protect you
against phishing, malware, and other dangerous
sites, by sharing real-time data with Google's Safe
Browsing Service.
• Google had released Enhanced Safe Browsing for
desktop earlier this year, and predictive phishing
protections had seen a roughly 20 percent drop in
users typing their passwords into phishing sites.

BIOMETRIC AUTHENTICATION
• Chrome is also introducing a biometric authentication step before auto filling passwords for iOS.
• You can authenticate using your Face ID, Touch ID, or phone passcode.

AUTOFILL IN SETTINGS
• If you enable Chrome autofill in Settings, Chrome
Password Manager allows you to autofill saved
passwords into iOS apps or browsers.

MIXED FORM WARNINGS
• Chrome 86 will bring ‘mixed form warnings' on Android to alert and warn users before submitting
a non-secure form that's embedded in an HTTPS page.
• These pages can create security risks for users by offering them downloads over non-secure links
or using forms that don't submit data securely.

SAFETY CHECK TO ANDROID AND
IOS
• In its next release, Chrome will be bringing Safety
Check to Android and iOS.
• This includes checking for compromised passwords,
informing you if Safe Browsing is enabled, and if the
version of Chrome you're running is updated with
the latest security protections.
