More Secure Google Chrome Password Manager

Google has updated the password manager that is built into Google Chrome with a new set of features. The password manager already offers biometric authentication on Android and iOS devices, but now its desktop version is also getting the expected biometric authentication. That works as an extra layer of security when using autofill option. The user can use fingerprint, facial recognition or some other method compatible with the operating system.
The biometric authentication feature comes nearly a month after Google started rolling out PassKeys for desktops. PassKeys are intended to replace traditional passwords, allowing users to login using biometric options such as fingerprint and facial recognition.
While you can add new passwords directly, Google’s password manager is also getting the ability to import passwords from other apps. You can do this by uploading a CSV file exported from other managers. For sites, and accounts, that require you to remember extra information, like a customer ID, Google Manager now lets you save this as a note.
To add a note to the saved password, go to Chrome Settings > Autofill > Password Manager. Under Saved passwords click the Edit button under Notes.
Google improves its Password Manager
Google has also updated the password checker tool on iOS to flag weak and reused passwords it has stored in the password manager. Additionally, a larger, more touchable autocomplete prompt appears on iOS when navigating to a login page in Chrome.
