We all put
our trust in big companies and services to protect our personal information.
But so often they employ weaker, cheaper defenses that are easily overcome and at which point our password and other data
end up in the hands of crooks, and we all pay the price.
You can also set your Chrome browser to delete browsing data automatically and you can perform the same with other browsers also. Just for your privacy.
Scarily,
this can happen without you even knowing. Companies should inform you if they’ve
been hacked and urge you to change your password, but it’s easy to miss these
emails. However, Chrome will now warn you whenever you enter a password that’s
been stolen. These warnings were previously shown only in its Password Checkup
tool, or by using a browser extension.
How To Enable Password Stolen Alert in Google Chrome.
To activate
this option, open your Chrome browser and click Settings, Advanced Settings.
Inside Advanced Settings, click the first
option that is ‘Sync and Google services’.
Next, scroll
down to Other Google services and enable the new ‘Warn you if passwords are exposed in a data breach’
option to switch on.
Or you can
also, enable the ‘Safe browsing’ option which automatically turns on the other two
options, ‘Warn you if passwords are exposed in a data’ and ‘Help Improve Chrome
Security’.
You are
done. Now it is the responsibility of Google Chrome to notify you whenever such
fault arises.
