What our analysis found

Password Alert, used by 500,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. Its permissions mean it can read and change data on all websites and can inject scripts into pages. It comes from a trusted publisher and was last updated in March 2025.

The extension is published by Google, has a clear security purpose, and uses permissions appropriately. All data collection and transmission is either local or to enterprise-configured URLs, matching the disclosed categories. The ML model overfit on broad permissions and minified code patterns.

About this extension

Password Alert helps protect against phishing attacks.

Read the publisherโ€™s full description

If you enter your Google Account password or Google for Work password into anywhere other than Google's sign-in page, youโ€™ll receive an alert, so you can quickly change your password if needed. Password Alert also checks each page you visit to see if it's impersonating Google's sign-in page, and alerts you if so. FAQ -- When will Password Alert take effect? Password Alert will initialize itself the next time you enter your password into accounts.google.com. -- Does Password Alert store my password or keystrokes? No. Password Alert doesnโ€™t store your password or keystrokes -- instead, it stores a secure thumbnail of your password, which it compares against a thumbnail of your most recent keystrokes within Chrome. -- Where does Password Alert send data? If you are using Password Alert in a Google Account, Password Alert does not send any data from your local computer. If your Google for Work administrator chooses to deploy Password Alert across your domain, the administrator will receive alerts when Password Alert triggers. -- What are Password Alert limits? Password Alert only operates inside the Chrome web browser when Javascript is enabled. Password Alert doesn't protect Chrome Apps or Chrome Extensions, and it only protect incognito tabs if configured at chrome://extensions. It also does not protect passwords for non-Google services. -- Where can I find more details? Visit the full FAQ at https://support.google.com/a/answer/6197508, or you can see the entire open-source codebase at https://github.com/google/password-alert.
