Chrome Now Uses Duplex To Fix Your Stolen Passwords (theverge.com) 14
The same technology that powers Google Duplex to call businesses and make appointments for you is being used to help you automatically change your password to a website that's been compromised in a security breach. TechCrunch reports: This new feature will start to roll out slowly to Chrome users on Android in the U.S. soon (with other countries following later), assuming they use Chrome's password-syncing feature. It's worth noting that this won't work for every site just yet. As a Google spokesperson told us, "the feature will initially work on a small number of apps and websites, including Twitter, but will expand to additional sites in the future."

Should be simple - just use /. articles as passwords.

I have a short GMail address (First name and last initial at gmail.com), so I'm constantly get people signing up with accounts for random shit like dating sites and file sharing services with my e-mail address.
Because of this, at least half of the "Your account password got HACKED" notifications that I get are total BS. I never requested that friggin account, thank you.
Now I have to worry about Chrome trying to force me to change these passwords for accounts that I don't even own? Lovely. I hope this option
