Google Adds Password Checkup Feature to Chrome Browser

Google will soon alert Chrome browser users of weak or compromised passwords. The checks will be in real time as Chrome users visit a password protected website. Bad passwords will trigger a red dialogue box alerting users to take action to better protect their account. The move integrates a feature previously only available via a Google Chrome browser extension called Password Checkup. Firefox Monitor allows users to enter their email addresses to check if they re part of hacker databases that have been publicly released. Mozilla said it is also considering a service to notify people when new breaches include their personal data.
