Google started testing password alerts for Chrome in October last year and rolled out the feature to PCs in December with Chrome 79. The software giant is now bringing the much-needed feature to Android and iOS with the latest Chrome 86 update.
Password protection is not the only security feature coming to mobile with Chrome 86. The browser has added mixed form warnings on desktop and Android. With this feature, Chrome will warn when HTTPS pages have non-secure content, say when you’re filling an unencrypted form present in an HTTPS page. The browser will also block or warn when secure pages initiate insecure downloads.
Alongside, Google has revealed its plans to add Safety Check on Android and iOS in the next release. For those unaware, Safety Check checks if Safe Browsing is enabled and makes sure that your version of Chrome is up to date.
