Google Password Checkup: είναι μια νέα επέκταση για το πρόγραμμα περιήγησης Google Chrome. The extension was developed by Google and informs users about potentially unsafe usernames or passwords.
Some password managers (password managers) have password checks, but Google thought it was a good idea to add the checks to the browser that uses the majority of internet users.
Yes, Google Password Checkup is available as a Chrome extension. It works only with the Chrome browser password manager and not with third-party password managers like LastPass or 1Password.
The Google extension uses a very different system to inform users about unsafe passwords.
Google Password Checkup: how it works
Controls the passwords you use to sign in to Internet accounts from a database that contains more than 4 billion passwords.
Google has a list of user names and passwords in encrypted and hashed format and updates it with new credentials appearing to be freely available on the Internet.
The company notes that the extension and system were designed with it in mind protection of the private life. The extension "never reveals personal information to Google" and "prevents hackers trying to access Password Checkup."
The Password Checkup extension sends hashed and encrypted copies of the username to Google when users try to connect to websites. Google (according to the company) uses this information anonymously to look for the passwords that have leaked into the database.
The final control που καθορίζει αν το όνομα χρήστη ή ο κωδικός πρόσβασης έχει διαρρεύσει γίνεται τοπικά σύμφωνα με την εταιρεία.
Installation:
Google plans to improve expansion in the coming months. You can read it announcement of extension for more information.
As mentioned before, the Google Password Checkup extension uses a different approach from all password leakage controllers. User name and password are only controlled when the user tries to connect to a web page.
