Password Alert
Password Alert helps protect against phishing attacks.
What is Password Alert?
Password Alert is a crucial tool that ensures a secure browsing experience for users. By sending notifications when Google Account passwords are entered anywhere other than the official Google sign-in page, this Chrome extension helps to protect against potential phishing scams. Password Alert does not store any personal data or keystrokes but uses a secure thumbnail comparison system for detection of breach attempts. Despite being limited to JavaScript enabled pages within Chrome, it proves to be an efficient tool for individual account protection and domain-wide deployment by Google for Work administrators.
