In the last few months, <\/strong>Google has added the option to manually add passwords to your browser and its Chrome<\/a> Canary developer client. This innovation will go hand in hand what’s Google’s existing password utility that lets users automatically save passwords<\/strong> to their Google accounts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, we have learned that Google is experimenting with a new feature that will let users add notes<\/strong> to the saved passwords in a future build. While the tech and communication giant has yet to announce when the feature will be available to the general public, we can assume that with a feature so sensitive, the company is carrying out rigorous testing before an official launch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is however pertinent to note that Chrome Canary<\/strong> is an experimental playground<\/strong> for Google and its developers, and that might be some time before we see a final build of the Chrome search engine with this feature added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google has yet to comment on what the intention behind the feature as well as possible uses would be; the tech-focused social media platform<\/strong>, Reddit, is all a buzz. One likely use highlighted by tech enthusiasts excited about the feature is the option to add pertinent information to a password. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This could be anything from a list of security questions or automatic expiration date for each password <\/strong>to intel on when users last modified their passwords. In truth, for security-conscious users, possibilities should be endless, and this new feature should be an innovative way to keep on top of your security<\/strong> in the online professional, social and leisure landscape.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This feature is however not free of public criticism, with some users on Reddit concerned about whether the information added in the ‘notes’ section will have the same high-level encryption as passwords<\/strong> themselves. We can assume that your notes will be encrypted and that all possible issues with cybersecurity will be tested before this innovative feature rolls out to the public. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
