Manage password change alerts

You may get an alert from Chrome if you use a password and username combination that has been compromised in a data leak on a third-party website or app. Compromised password and username combinations are unsafe because they’ve been published online.

We recommend that you change any compromised passwords as soon as you can. You can check your saved passwords and find sites that use the compromised password.

Chrome makes sure that your passwords and username are protected so that they can’t be read by Google.

To change your compromised password when you get an alert:

1. Tap Check passwords.

   • If you get an alert that says 'Change automatically', click it to allow Chrome to help you change your password and save it for you.

2. Follow the prompts to change your password on each site.

To start or stop getting these notifications:

1. On your Android device, open the Chrome app .
2. At the top right, tap More   Settings.
3. Tap Privacy and security  Safe browsing.
4. Tap Standard protection.
5. Turn Warn you if passwords are exposed in a data breach on or off.

Important: This feature is only available if you have turned ‘Safe Browsing’ on.

Check your saved passwords

You can check if your saved passwords were exposed in a data breach by checking all of them at once.

To check your saved passwords:

1. On your Android phone or tablet, open Chrome .
2. At the top right, tap More   Settings.
