Google to get Chrome password generator

Folks at Google are now toying with the idea of introducing a password generator on their Chrome browser, which would reduce the risk of losing one's details, and other private information to a weak password. While still in its conceptual stage, a blog post on Chromium projects reveals Google's game plan. Google plans to introduce a password generator for their widely used Chrome browser, which will give the users an option to use the password, which Chrome suggests, ideally would be a strong one - difficult to break into. The post, while describing this, states, "Chrome's long term solution to this problem is browser sign in plus OpenID. While implementing browser sign in is something that we can control, getting most sites on the internet to use OpenID will take a while. In the meantime it would be nice to have a way to achieve the same affect of having the browser control authentication. Currently you can mostly achieve this goal through Password Manager and Browser Sync, but users still know their passwords so they are still susceptible to phishing. By having Chrome generate passwords for users, we can remove this problem."
