Google Chrome browser users will now be able to find out about password hacking on Android and iPhone.
This feature was previously available in computers but now it has been introduced for smartphones as well.
This feature will send usernames and passwords to Google servers to check if hackers have been involved in data hacking.
Google itself will not be able to see the user’s username or password, but will only be able to check that it does not match the details obtained by hackers.
Google Password Check for smartphones was introduced on October 6 with Chrome 86 and will work only when the user has stored their passwords in Chrome.
Google Chrome is the most used web browser in the world, while various browsers such as Samsung Internet, Brew, Opera and Microsoft Edge all run on Google’s open source Chrome browser engine.
Google continues to add various features to keep up with other companies.

Chrome for iOS also provides touch-to-full biometric authentication support, which is already present in Android devices.
Google has also added Hans Safe Browsing to the Chrome browser for Android phones, which aims to prevent usernames and passwords or other sensitive details from being stolen.
When this tool is enabled, real-time browsing data goes to Google, which allows Google to know about phishing attacks instantly.
