Chrome will soon detect stolen passwords

TECH NEWS

Unless you're a super conscientious internet user with password managers and two-factor authentication out the wazoo, it's highly likely you're still using a couple of logins that have been compromised in data breaches. Now, Google has announced that Chrome will make it a bit easier to clean up your compromised credentials as you find them. Within the next few weeks Chrome will roll out a feature that lets you know immediately with a pop-up if you enter a password that's been compromised somewhere, and prompts you to change it everywhere you use it. (Yes, they see you reusing passwords across different sites even though we all know it's data hygiene 101 to never do that.)


Google Maps: Incognito for iPhone users is here

The secretive incognito mode from the Chrome browser app is here for more privacy-conscious Google Maps users. Google's navigation app will let iPhone users use the same incognito mode from Chrome web browsing to turn off activity tracking on Google Maps. The feature launched back in October for Android users. Now that iOS is all caught up, users will be able to choose how much information about places they’ve searched for or navigated to is saved and stored. To turn on incognito mode, simply click on your profile photo in the top right corner of the app to toggle the mode on and off.
