Password Management is a headache, especially for Jingdezhen users. After the leakage of CSDN plaintext passwords, we recommend the password manager like 1 password. The principle is to automatically generate a complicated password for each website during registration, but you do not need to know the password, the manager automatically enters the password upon the next login. Now Google is considering adding a similar Password Manager to Chrome, which is in the discussion and design phase. The current idea is that at the first registration, a key button to activate the Password Manager is displayed on the right of the password box), and Chrome will automatically generate a complicated password:

Next time you log on to this website, Chrome will automatically call the original password. Of course, all the generated passwords will also be synchronized with the Chrome browser, as long as you log on to your account elsewhere, you can access the network.

However, at present, this method also has some limitations. As a result, it can only be used on newly registered websites, and your registered websites will not work, maybe Chrome can consider generating a new password when changing the password? Second, if your Chrome disables the Automatic completion function, you will not be able to use the Password Manager. Third, once Chrome becomes the storage center for all your passwords, hackers will obviously blink their brains to attack Chrome, and Google will face more security challenges.
