Regular change in passwords is one of the main conditions of information security, and it is difficult to argue with this. However, this procedure is quite complicated and many Internet users are trying to avoid it.

The Google browser developers decided to help relieve timely password's change. According to the publication of Android Authority, on the social network x the user under the nickname @leopeva64 published evidence that the experimental function of replacing passwords is now at the testing stage.

This user discovered fragments of the corresponding code in Bruzer. The function is not yet available publicly and the exact deadlines of its release is not yet.

Experts of the publication suggested that replacing passwords will probably work as follows: if the user password is somehow compromised (it will be hacked through the data leakage, etc.. ), the browser will automatically offer to change it at the entrance to the account. That is, replacing passwords will not be carried out without the knowledge of the user himself - he will have to agree. After that, the new password will be added to Google Password Manager, that is, you will not have to remember it.

According to the publication, this function will become part of artificial intelligence, now tested by Google. However, now there is an early stage of these tests, which means that AI can work incorrectly and early launch it for mass use.

Previously, Google Chrome already had a similar password changing system, but it was easier to proposed. Therefore, she needed a fewer steps.

Experts evaluate the innovations in Google Chrome. Such an automatic password replacement with suspected hacking can significantly increase the safety of users on the network.
