Upon the detection of a breach, the password manager can fix compromised passwords effectively. Chrome Assistant shows you the ‘Change Password’ button which will swiftly navigate you through the password changing process for the required site.

Senior Product Manager at Google Chrome informed users on the process of changing passwords and password breach management using Chrome’s tools. The upgrade was meant to create utility for users and additional security, with faster Google Chrome password change.
"Under the hood, Chrome is using Duplex on the Web to power this feature. We first introduced this technology in 2019 so that Google Assistant could help you complete tasks on the web, like buying movie tickets. Since then, we’ve expanded to even more tasks, now helping millions of people every week order food and check in to flights. Powered by Duplex on the Web, Assistant takes over the tedious parts of web browsing: scrolling, ing and filling forms, and allows you to focus on what’s important to you. And now we’re expanding these capabilities even further by letting you quickly create a strong password for certain sites and apps when Chrome determines your credentials have been leaked online."
While making a new account or a new password for an old account, Chrome’s password manager tool also suggests strong passwords that would protect your account from breaches. On entering a new password anywhere, Chrome asks the user if they would like the password manager to remember and save the password or not.
