Google has already announced plans to support automated password changes in Chrome using AI. A newly spotted Chromium commit introduces a change to how Chrome handles the Change password action. Instead of only opening a password-change page in a new tab when users click Change password, Chrome is preparing to route the action through its internal Glic system, which is designed for guided task execution inside the browser.
Chrome already alerts users when saved passwords are found in data breaches and, through Google Password Manager, provides a "Change password" button that takes users to the affected website so they can reset credentials manually. This current flow still depends on users completing the process themselves after the site opens.
The commit includes a note to "invoke Glic instead of just opening the URL." This confirms the planned change in how Chrome handles password resets.
The commit also notes that the existing behavior of opening a URL is temporary and is planned to transition to a Glic-based invocation in the future, with comments describing the method as requesting a password-change flow through Glic. Such a transition would allow Chrome to support more guided password-reset steps inside the browser rather than relying entirely on manual navigation.
The feature is still in development, and no automation or AI-driven behavior is visible in Google Password Manager for breached passwords at this stage. More details about guided password-change capabilities in Chrome are expected in future Canary and Dev builds.
