Fred Langa: Use Google’s new Password Checker extension for Chrome to see if your passwords have been compromised

Posted on February 7, 2019 at 08:04 CST by woody • Comment in the Forums

Fred’s at it again. His latest Langa.com article talks about a new Chrome extension that specifically checks to see if the password you’re entering has been compromised.

It’s different from the compromised-email-address checking sites because it looks at passwords.

Interesting product. I just added Password Checkup to my Chrome box of tools.
