Google Unveils Revolutionary Password Security Feature for iPhone Users
Google has recently upgraded the security protection for iPhone users by introducing a new real-time system for detecting and warning users about unsafe websites in Chrome. This new system replaces the current local list-based system and includes flagging weak and reused passwords, blocking 25% more phishing attempts, and providing real-time protection against risky websites on Chrome for desktop, iOS, and soon Android. The new system uses an asynchronous mechanism to prevent network calls from blocking page loads and degrades the user experience, and it also includes an option to turn it off in the browser settings. Additionally, Google has partnered with Fastly, a CDN and edge computing specialist, to provide an additional layer of privacy by stripping out any identifying information from the browser request. The new system is currently available in Chrome's Standard mode and offers additional protection in Enhanced mode, including AI-based blocking, deep file scans, and protection from harmful extensions.
