Google Assistant goes further to help you with compromised passwords. The assistant can now change it for you on some sites.
Google is constantly working on the development of its digital voice assistant Google Assistant. Of course, this includes adding new features as well as improving existing features. And if very often these changes go unnoticed by users, every day work with them always becomes smoother and more efficient. Here is today a very interesting novelty about passwords.
Google Assistant goes further to help you with compromised passwords
Mountain View announced last year that Assistant will one day let you change compromised passwords. Today, the tech giant is delivering on its promise. Android Police reports that warnings from Google Assistant are starting to come to Chrome users, including those on Android.
The operation is simple: enter the site with the compromised password, and you will receive the already familiar notification that for sure “change your password”. On some sites, you will even have the option to allow the Assistant to make this change on its own. You can take control of the operation at any time, but this can be useful if you don’t want or don’t have time to go through a more secure system.

This new help uses the artificial intelligence of the web version of Google Duplex to navigate sites and change your password. The algorithm can now click, scroll, and fill out forms, operations that would normally require human intervention.
This feature does not currently work on any site. That being said, this Assistant password management tool has only been offered to a small group of users since its introduction during Google I/O last May. Extending this access is more than a significant improvement, and the feature itself should be extremely useful if you ever fall victim to a data breach that exposes your logins and passwords.
