Better password protections in Chrome – How it works

Google announced better password protections in Chrome, gradually rolling out with release M79. It compares passwords and usernames against over 4 billion credentials that Google knows to have been compromised. Real-time phishing protection can inspect the URLs of pages visited with Safe Browsings servers in real time. Chrome checks a partial URL fingerprint (the first 32 bits of a SHA-256 hash of the URL) with Google for verification that the URL is indeed dangerous. If you visit a website, Chrome checks it against a list stored on your computer of thousands of popular websites that are known to be safe.”]
