I like this trend in end user software. We need to do more to educate the user community about Internet safety. If we can find more ways of bubbling up critical safety issues like insecure passwords, we can potentially protect millions of users. I am not naive enough to think that this is a perfect solution. I know that many users will simply ignores these prompts and warnings, but we have to take action. I have mentioned password managers before and am also believe increasing acceptance and use of password managers can provide a wealth of benefits from helping users choose acceptable passwords to helping them remember cryptic passwords and pins.
I would like to hear your thoughts on this change in Google Chrome.
