In a bid to offer users better password protection, Google is introducing Chrome version 79 and which comprises a number of improvements, including warning users when their password has been stolen as part of a data leak. Users can control the new feature in Chrome Settings under Sync and Google Services. It'll be gradually rolled out for everyone logged into Chrome, Forbes reported. The tech giant has been warning about reused passwords in a separate browser extension or in its password checkup tool, but it is now baking this directly into Chrome to provide warnings as users log in to sites on the web. To help keep you safe online, @googlechrome will now warn if your username & password have been compromised when you type them into a website. We’re also enhancing phishing protections to be real-time on desktop to alert you when visiting malicious sites. https://t.co/XuStf4sKQP — Sundar Pichai (@sundarpichai) December 10, 2019 Even as Google will be watching as users … [Read more...] about Google Chrome 79 Will Warn Users if Their Passwords Get Stolen

INDIANAPOLIS - On a recent Thursday, at about 8:15 a.m., Ivanka Trump walked into Indiana Women's Prison wearing navy-blue business attire, stiletto heels and an air of seriousness. Her role in this administration is genealogical, official, unpaid and deeply scrutinized, which is why, it seems, she'd flown commercial from Washington - where her father was fighting off an impeachment inquiry. It's the little things. Flying commercial is a typical Ivanka Trump thing; she does it on most public trips. As first daughter and adviser to the president, she is both an extension of her father, and the most diplomatic, gauzy-lit version of him, self-tasked with being an emissary for the least divisive parts of his administration. Like criminal justice reform. And wanting people to have jobs. Which is how she found herself a mile outside of downtown in sunny Indianapolis on the grounds of this maximum-security facility touring workforce development programs. This was Day 2 of a whirlwind visit to … [Read more...] about Ivanka Trump will do her job, whatever that entails, no matter what happens in Washington

A day after acknowledging that his videos did not violate its policies, YouTube decided to demonetize all of conservative comedian and commentator Steven Crowder’s videos in response to a left-wing Vox employee complaining that Crowder repeatedly made fun of him because of his identity. On the same day, YouTube announced a mass ban on all content promoting one group as superior to another “in order to justify discrimination, segregation or exclusion based on qualities like age, gender, race, caste, religion, sexual orientation or veteran status.” In an interview with Axios published Sunday but filmed before YouTube’s unveling of its new policy last week, Google CEO Sundar Pichai signaled YouTube’s crackdown and its plans to expand the ban to include “borderline content.” “Look, we aren’t quite where we want to be,” Pichai told “Axios on HBO.” While YouTube is improving on eliminating content it deems problematic, … [Read more...] about Google CEO: YouTube Will Begin Targeting ‘Content Which Doesn’t Exactly Violate Policies’
