Chrome now lets you automate password changes for compromised accounts

Every year, passwords get stolen, leaked, or just plain guessed. Now, Google is tackling the problem with a new Chrome automated password changes feature, fresh from I/O 2025. Instead of just warning you when your login is at risk, Chrome now offers a “Change it for me” button that actually fixes the issue for you. Hit the button, and Chrome will handle everything—resetting your password automatically, often in seconds.

Here’s how it works: When you log in to a site and Chrome spots a compromised or weak password, it throws up a warning in the top-right corner. The message spells it out: “Your password was found in a data breach. Chrome can update your account for this site with a strong password. You won’t need to remember the password because it’s saved for you in Google Password Manager.”

Right now, Chrome automated password changes only work through Google’s own password manager, and not all sites are supported yet. Google wants developers to add support, so adoption might take some time. If enough people start using this feature, other password managers are bound to follow. Imagine a future where password resets are as simple as a click, everywhere.

This isn’t the only new trick Chrome is rolling out. Starting today, the Gemini AI assistant is baked directly into the Chrome desktop browser for Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers in the US. That should make getting smarter answers while browsing a lot easier.

For now, Chrome automated password changes could be a real game-changer for anyone tired of chasing after leaks and security warnings. Maybe in a few years, remembering passwords will finally be a thing of the past.
