Password Checkup helps you resecure accounts that were affected by data breaches.
Wherever you sign-in, if you enter a username and password that is no longer safe due to appearing in a data breach known to Google, you’ll receive an alert.
@school_4_ants According to Google they use "multiple rounds of hashing, k-anonymity, and private set intersection with blinding" to secure the username/password before sending them to a server. https://security.googleblog.com/...
Seems to work instantly. Not sure if this is a good or bad thing.
Pros:Great idea to bring some peace of mind for security.
Cons:Does it really need to be an extension? I think a website would have been sufficient.
Having something in the browser that can check your passwords without actively logging in to sites seems like a great idea.
Pros:I have a few Chrome extensions that I consider vital because they just work. This looks like it could become one of them.
Cons:I agree that a website checker would be a good alternative, although that would seem to require you to give up PID.
