Can Google not obtain our passwords from Chrome’s "password check" service? [closed]
From the Password Check FAQ:
"To check your credentials, Chrome first encrypts your username and password. Then it sends the encrypted credentials to Google for comparison against an encrypted list of known breached data. If Chrome detects a match between the encrypted sets of data, it displays a warning that prompts you to change your password. Google never learns your usernames or passwords during this process."
But why do they encrypt the credentials instead of just creating a hash and comparing it?
Can we trust Google to not keep our credentials?
