Passwords with obvious phrases, simple keyboard patterns, and single words can be easily guessed. We recommend you use strong passwords.
Why we might ask you to change passwords
To help you secure your accounts, Google can help notify you if we find any of your saved passwords have been compromised.
If you’re notified about an unsafe password:
- Go directly to Password Checkup to make sure the notification is authentic and change any unsafe passwords.
- Take a Security Checkup to help protect your Google Account.
Manage alerts for unsafe passwords
Google can notify you when we find any of your saved passwords online. You can turn these alerts on or off.
Google continues to check your passwords, even if alerts are turned off. If you turn this setting off, you might still receive alerts for up to 48 hours.
You can go to Google Password Manager settings or:
- Go to passwords.google.com.
- At the top right, select Settings
.
- Turn Password alerts on or off.
