Google has improved the security and usability of its Chrome browser in the pro version Android a iOS. Starting today, the browser on mobile devices will notify users if any of the passwords they've saved are compromised and, if so, how to fix them.
Not only that, after a warning about a password threat, Chrome redirects the user directly to the password change form of the service for which the password was used. In order for the user to check if any of their passwords have been compromised, Chrome sends a copy of them to Google using a special form of encryption that makes it impossible to find out what their usernames or passwords are.

Until a future version of Chrome pro Android a iOS there will also be a new feature called Safety Check. With it, it will be possible to manually verify compromised passwords, and it will also let the user know if Google's Safe Browsing service is turned on and if the version of Chrome has the latest security protection. On iOS it will also be possible to use Chrome to auto-fill saved credentials into other applications or browsers. Additionally, before Chrome fills in anything, Apple device users will be prompted for biometric authentication for added security.
On the version with Androidem is also coming soon with Enhanced Safe Browsing, which actively protects users from malware, phishing and other threats by sharing data in real-time with said Safe Browsing service. Google reports that among users who turned on the feature in the desktop version, its predictive phishing protection saw a roughly 20% decrease in entering passwords to phishing sites.
