2. Go to the Chrome store and download Password Checkup.
3. Follow the steps on your screen.

 

How To Turn Password Checkup On / Off?

1. Open Google Chrome and sign in to your Google Account.
2. In the top right, select More   More tools Extensions.
3. Find Password Checkup in the list of extensions.
4. Turn Password Checkup on or off.

But note that turning it off does not delete data created and stored by the extension.

How To Mute Warnings For A Website

When you receive a warning, you should IMMEDIATELY change your password. But if for some reason, you need to do this later, you can choose to mute the warnings you receive for a particular website :

• Select the Ignore for this site option to mute all future warnings for the website.
• To restore future warnings for that website (or others that you have muted too), you will need to delete the stored information (see the next section).

 

How To Delete Data Stored By Password Checkup

If Password Checkup finds that a login and password combination has been compromised, it will create and store a hashed, partial code for that combination in your Chrome browser. This partial code can’t be used to recreate a complete version of your login info.

To delete this code on your Chrome browser, change your unsafe password or follow these steps:

1. Open Google Chrome, and sign in to your Google Account.
2. At the top, select Password Checkup from the Toolbar  Advanced Settings  Clear Extension Data.

Note: This info is used to stop all future notifications about an unsafe password. If you delete this info, you might see notifications about unsafe passwords you’ve chosen to ignore.
