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.

Mozilla said it is also considering a service to notify people when new breaches include their personal data.
