Just like we lock our house for safety, similarly a strong password is used for the safety of our account, but the news of 16 billion passwords getting leaked some time ago has drawn lines of worry on our forehead. Stop worrying and be alert, today we are going to tell you about a tool of Google that many people may know about, but there are still many users who are not even aware of this tool.

This tool of Google or let's say the feature is named Google Password Checkup. Just like a doctor does a checkup to detect a disease, in the same way, this tool of Google keeps checking up to find out whether your password has been leaked or not. If the password is leaked, then this tool of Google immediately alerts you.

One thing to note about this feature is that this tool Google will alert you only when you have kept your password safe with Google Password Manager. If we understand in simple language, if you have saved important passwords in Google Password Manager, then you will get an immediate alert on a data breach (password leak).
