Google is rolling out new privacy tools that help users cover their digital footprints on Google-owned websites, while also making sure people are staying safe across the internet.that audits all of the passwords a Google account user has stored in Google Chrome. All it takes is one click and a few seconds for the tool to return a list of which passwords may have been compromised in a data breach, along with a tally of how many times a person has reused their password across multiple accounts.
While it can be tempting to reuse a password, it’s also incredibly risky. All it takes is one account to be compromised. Hackers can then try an automated tactic called credential stuffing, which lets them try compromised usernames and passwords on other sites to find out which ones work. Google recommends people use its password manager to store unique passwords in Chrome for each account they use.
Incognito mode, which allows anyone to turn off browser tracking in Chrome and on YouTube, is also now coming to Google Maps. Anyone who doesn’t want Google to track their map activity can click their profile photo and see an option to turn it on or off in Maps. The feature will also be rolled out to Android in the coming weeks, with plans to bring it to iOS users in the future.
