Google has announced some major new improvements to its password manager to make it easier to use. The updated password manager will be smarter and automatically let you change compromised passwords in just a tap using Google's Duplex technology.

Google Duplex was first announced at I/O 2018, making phone calls on your behalf and even book salon appointments.

Google Using Duplex to Make Its Password Manager Smarter

Google is now using the same Duplex technology to make changing compromised passwords a breeze in Chrome for Android. The next time you get a prompt in Google Chrome on Android to change a compromised password, simply tap the Assistant button next to the Change password option.

With the help of Duplex, Google Assistant will let you change the compromised password with just a single tap. A new password will automatically be generated by Assistant, which you can accept. You also have the option of adjusting the length of the generated password as per your liking.

Once you accept the suggested password by tapping the Use password option, Google Assistant will do all the heavy lifting for you. You can manually intervene anytime you like in the process. The updated password will also be saved in Google's password manager and synced to your other devices.

Before you get too excited, though, Google confirmed to TechCrunch that the feature will "initially work on a small number of apps and websites, including Twitter, but will expand to additional sites in the future." The feature will only be available in Chrome on Android in the US for now, with support for more countries and websites coming in the next few months.

Easily Import Your Passwords to Google's Password Manager

Apart from automating changing compromised passwords, Google is also updating its password manager to make it easier to import passwords from third-party password managers. This means it will be easier to import passwords to Google's password manager from 1Password, LastPass, or any other password manager that you use.

Additionally, Google is further deepening the integration of its password manager in Chrome and Android. This should make it easier to use Google's password manager to autofill login details in apps and websites on Android devices.

Google's password manager can already highlight your compromised passwords. Going forward, it will now automatically alert you of compromised passwords so that you can quickly secure your account.

There was no word from Google on how or if it will bring its improved password manager to iPhone and iPad users or not. Nonetheless, Google is making some solid improvements to its password manager, making it a viable alternative to 1Password and LastPass for many.
