Google Inc. has added to its Chrome browser a new ability to fix password hack problems on many services and sites, with one step.

It's standard for web browsers to warn you when your password is found on a list of hacked passwords, but now Google's browser also will be able to fix it with a tap of a button.

When Google spots a vulnerable password, Google Assistant will offer a "change password" button, Google announced at its Google I/O developers conference.

It will arrive in Chrome on Android in the United States but will spread to other browsers and regions later.

It only will initially only work on Twitter and a "small number" of other sites.
