Chrome 69 adds a new Random Password Generator to its password manager. Chrome now prompts users to sync newly generated passwords across devices by connecting them to their Google Account.

So Safari and iCloud  

 

Good to see Google doing the right things.

Whats written is incoherent cryptograph prompts

Basically a question written in a way that only I can interpret, and cannot be decyphered (because its not a cypher)

And the password is a random association to the question that comes to mind when I see the prompt

 

So impossible for anyone else to know the password unless they can somehow issue appropriate prompt and read my mind at the same time

Sounds like an awesome system.

Guess I need to step up my game for PWs,.. while I do have a system, it is basic in comparison.

That being said, I am unsure if any of my PWs would be of any value to anyone. So I guess I don't have enough motivation to go that far. Just having a save PW is enough for me, i don't need to have an NSA save PW. ;-)

 

But still. Your way of doing this sounds amazing.

Without doubt one of those features, the industry should copy from apple. I agree.

Just wish they would not have copied that notch,... oh god! It is haunting me in my dreams. The Pixel 3 XL notch is coming!

At least Samsung hasn't fallen so far... YET.

Tbh, Safari has had this for years (the generation of passwords specifically), across both macOS and iOS. It's interesting to see how long it took to get the same feature in Chrome. 

You say, "it's interesting to see how long it took to get the same feature in Chrome". What do you mean by that? Any insinuations? Haha

Really? Google 69, and this is what they do with it?

 

Google 69 now with Ultra HARD DP (Ultra Heuristic Autonomous Readable Dictionary and Digital Password are under Google registered trademark).

 

Thanks Google, but I have to drive.. Hard pass. Wonder how quick until this is exploited.

Meanwhile, I use LastPass

Interesting, They say that makes it easy, but honestly my way is easier, I just use the same password for everything and have it saved on my desktop as a txt file called password for all my shit.  I even keep links to my bank and the account numbers in their as well so there all in one easy convenient place.

This should help improve password security especially amongst non-techies.

Non-techies can't even remember a password they made up themselves let alone something randomly generated.

You want me to not take risk and just roll my face over keyboard and then select whatever comes out and copy and use that as password ?

There no way some one is gonna tie a unique generated password to an account i have

Do you really want to be taking risks with the keys protecting things like your bank account?

If you use a website like LastPass or another vendor whose reputation would be annihilated if it where revealed that they took logs then you should be safe, it is in their interest to keep your keys secure.

This feature has to be well marketed and implemented, because a lot of normies wouldn't see the use in it. As long as Google remembers it and the users know how to keep their Google account secure it could be a really good feature.

If it's not sarcasm, that's very sad.

 

I made up some algorithm by which i generate my passwords. I do not even remember any of my passwords, everytime i need it i regenerate it in my head by using that algorithm Very easy and securitywise GREAT solution. I just need to not forget that algorithm

Handy. I use Opera but oh Google ugly UI everything bubbly and rounded, horrible.
