Google, new feature that allows you to change leaked passwords with a single tap

On the 18th (local time), Google announced improvements to Google account security and privacy-related functions, including enhanced password management functions.

In the password management function, Chrome has enhanced the ability to detect password leaks. If your website is compatible, the Google Assistant will display a "Change Password" button. Users can complete password changes with the tap of a button without having to go to a website. Even if it can be changed automatically, it can be changed manually by the user.

This is a function realized by using the "Duplex on the Web" technology announced by the company at Google I / O in 2019. Google Assistant assists the operation on the website, and you can fill in the reservation form etc. by following the voice instructions.

The automatic password change function is being implemented sequentially for Chrome for Android. It can be used by users who use the password synchronization function, and it is expected that the available area will be expanded over the next few months starting from the United States. The number of compatible websites will increase over the next few months.

For privacy-related functions, a "Quick Delete" function has been added to the account screen that allows you to delete the search history for the last 15 minutes with a single tap. In addition, Google Photos has a new "Locked Folder" function that allows you to store images that you do not want others to see and protect them with a passcode or biometric authentication.

In addition, "Privacy Dashboard" has been added to Android 12. You can check which app accessed the camera, microphone, and location information in a timeline format, and you can easily disable it. Regarding location information, the accuracy of the information provided to the app can be changed.
