All users have to do is enter their username to see if their information has been leaked. There are other services available if you’d rather not sign into Google. That will show the password has been leaked without having to look at the actual login info. If the same password exists in Google’s trove of previously stolen logins, it would’ve gone through the same hashing algorithm and so a hash match will be found. With a declarative approach, Chrome does not need to expose any sensitive data to the extension. That string-which might look something like 855c3697d9979e78ac404c4ba2c66533-is the hash. You can automatically import your stored passwords from Chrome (but not from any of the Chromium-derived browsers or Firefox), as well as from LastPass, Dashlane and RoboForm. To do this, Google first turns the password you’re entering into what’s known as a hash by putting it through an algorithm that turns it into a collection of letters and numbers.

No one, including Google, is able to derive your username or password from this encrypted copy.” In case you have used the password manager before, simply sign in. Once that part is done, complete the registration process, if you are a new user, by signing up with an email address.

You just need to head to the Chrome Web Store, search for the extension and add it.

As Google explained in a blog post sent to Forbes ahead of publication on Tuesday: “When you sign in to a website, Chrome will send a strongly hashed copy of your username and password to Google encrypted with a secret key only known to Chrome. Adding and enabling the 1Password extension in Chrome is simpler than ever.
