Overview

  • Google announced the Automated Password Change feature at its I/O 2025 conference, showcasing its ability to replace weak or compromised passwords with strong ones automatically.
  • The feature is currently available in Chrome developer builds and works only on participating websites as Google collaborates with developers for broader adoption.
  • User consent is required before any password changes are made, ensuring users remain in control of their credentials.
  • This builds on Chrome's existing password-health tools, which have evolved since the launch of Password Checkup in 2019.
  • A full rollout is planned for later in 2025 as more websites adopt support for the functionality.
