Quote:Google has released Chrome 86 today, October 6th, 2020, to the Stable desktop channel, and it includes numerous security enhancements, features, and APIs for developers.
Chrome 86 brings many security enhancements to both desktop and mobile users in the form of increased password security, protection from insecure downloads and form submissions, and biometric protection when auto-filling saved passwords.
Last month, BleepingComputer reported that Google Chrome was adding support for the '.well-known/change-password' file to make it easier to reset breached passwords.
When Chrome performs a password checkup of saved login credentials, if any passwords are involved in data breaches, it will prompt the user to change their password, as shown below.
