How to check Hacked Password with Google’s Password Checkup

Currently there are many attacks on Websites to steal information. The most recent case 773 million emails leaked seriously affect users. Although your Password is very strong, but once it has been hacked, the risk of Password will be in the dictionary to detect Brute Attack. Therefore, it is important to set a password that does not overlap with the old password and regularly change it at least once every 3 months. I recommend using Password Checkup.

The solution of some of you is to use third-party password management software such as: Sticky Password, LastPass… But some of you do not trust these software. Some of you suspect that Web sites that check Passwords have been exposed to steal user information.

So do you trust Google? You are using Chrome, you save the password on Password Google. So there is no reason why we do not use Google to manage and check Password.

How to check if the password is exposed with Password Checkup

Google Chrome already has built-in password manager support. This means you can create, store, and update usernames and passwords using Chrome itself. This function is in section Settings > Password. Password Checkup is a second layer of security, letting you know when your password has been compromised and prompting you to change it before it’s too late.

To find out which passwords are safe, Google keeps an encrypted database of exposed passwords and compares it with your own logins (with encryption). The actual comparison is made by Password Checkup, so personal information will not be transmitted out during inspection. If a match is found, the extension will suggest you to change your password immediately.

Download Extension Password Checkup compatible with Chrome, Coc Coc, Opera… You should install it now to protect yourself.

Password Checkup will run in the background to check when you enter information. If you find that the Password is in the leaked list, you will see red warning. Now you need to change the password immediately.
