Password Alert Additional protection from Google

Alert: The term Phishing has been added to the Oxford English Dictionary since 2005 for a very good reason: it is a widespread attack on the internet, something everyone should be aware of.

Google says:

Phishing attacks are 45% successful.
Nearly 2% of Gmail messages are intended to trick users of the service into revealing their passwords.

Earlier this year, even the Google Docs used in a massive phishing attack. This shows that you need every tool available, especially if you are new to the internet.

Google has a sophisticated security system that works in the background but is adding another one defense.

The Password Alert extension can be installed directly from Web Store. Once installed, the open source extension will start protecting your Google and Google Apps for Work (Google Drive too) accounts from phishing attacks.Password Alert

The extension validates that the page asking for your password is a real Google login page. So if you start typing your Google account password on a website that isn't a Google login page, the extension will display a who will mention it.

If you again managed to write your password, with the warning, you can change it immediately ..

How can Password Alert notify you? Does he know your password?

The extension is not a keylogger and does not record what you type. Google Chrome maintains an encrypted reduced bits of your code to Chrome's local storage.

It then compares this thumbnail with any password you enter on any site other than accounts.google.com. If you enter your password on a site that is not a Google login, the Password Alert extension compares it to the saved thumbnail.

For security reasons, Google does not share this information with anyone.

You can install the extension from the following link:
