Password Alert – Google Chrome Extension That Will Protect You From Phishing Attacks
Password Alert is a Google Chrome extension that will protect you against phishing attacks. It does this by creating a secure connection between the website you are on and the Google service you are using to log in. This will prevent someone from pretending to be the site you are on, and forcing you to give your username and password to a remote server.
So what is a phishing attack?
A phishing attack is when someone sends you a link to a fake website, which looks like the website you are trying to access. The goal is to make you log in to the fake website, and then steal your credentials.
With Password Alert, you don’t have to worry about this. If you are using Google for Work, you can use the same mechanism to protect your company’s data.
