Passwords. During biometrics, they are clearly time to abandon them, but so far it has not happened, and it is unknown, whether it will happen in the foreseeable future, considering how much they are tied. After all, with passwords, firstly, it is easier to interact sites and services. And, secondly, passwords can be sold than successfully developers of special utilities for generating and storing protective combinations. Even Google added a built-in password manager in Chrome, who until recently did not allow them to change them, without going on sites, but it is in the past.
How to manage Google Chrome commands in the address bar
Google added a convenient password replacement mechanism in the Chrome on sites. It is part of the toolkit to identify stolen, repeating or simply unsafe combinations. But if earlier for them, Chrome simply sent a user to the site, the password of access to which was required to be changed, now the browser guides it to the desired partition automatically. It is enough to simply enter a new combination manually or confirm the use of the one that offers password manager algorithms.
Fast password change on sites
In fact, the new chip will officially appear only in Chrome 88, which will be released within the next few weeks, but this does not mean that users of earlier browser assemblies will not be able to use it.
- Open your desktop chrome and go to Chrome: // Flags;
- In the search bar, enter the request "Edit Passwords in Settings";
- In the drop-down window on the contrary, select "Enabled" and click Relaunch;
- Then go to "Settings" - "Passwords" - "Check Passwords";
- Select a site, the password to which you want to change, and click "Change Password";
- You will transfer to the desired section of the site, where you can change the protective combination.
Google will allow you to disable synchronization in Chrome
The activation of the flag described above is needed to ensure that the Chrome automatically opels for you a special section of the site, where you can change the password to the new one. It is more convenient than to look for it yourself, because it is sometimes very unclear exactly where you can change the protective combination of the account. However, it is necessary to understand that some sites support a very strange redirection that does not allow you to go to the section to change the password. Such a problem, for example, is observed on the website of the Eldorado trading network.
How to get immediately to the password change page
It is difficult to say howver Google managed to implement the automatic transition to the section to change the password. Perhaps this is some kind of script, accessible only to it due to control over a significant part of the Internet space, and perhaps just a new standard, which is not so important by and large. After all, the main thing is that now we can if not automatically, then at least in semi-automatic mode, change protective combinations that should be changed for our same safety.
Google promised to disperse Chrome in the next update. Again
It is ironically, that the ability to quickly replace passwords with the transition to the appropriate section of the site is available only in the descript version of Google Chrome, whereas it is not on Android and iOS. But if the chip appears on the iOS with the release of the next update, as Google said, then its appearance on Android will be delayed somewhat. The developers did not explain what the deferred release is connected with, but they made it clear that they were experiencing some problems that could not be solved by clicking the fingers. Apparently, so they did not disclaim the accurate time of launching the function of the quick change of passwords on their platform.
