How to Enable Password Leak Detection in Google Chrome
By Timothy Tibbetts |
Password Leak Detection is now an official feature of Google Chrome. Password Leak Detection works by checking the websites you visit and checks if your password was compromised as part of a data breach.
Password Leak Detection was formerly an official extension you could download. Now, everyone can use it as it's built into Google Chrome, and it's a great idea that everyone should enable.
Open a new tab and type in chrome://flags/#password-leak-detection and press Enter.
If you don't see Password Leak Detection, make sure Google Chrome is version 79.x or higher.
Click on the dropdown box and change that from Default to Enabled.
Click Relaunch in the lower-right-corner to relaunch Google Chrome.
