Chrome’s password manager recently swallowed over 15 million passwords

It hasn’t been a good year for Google. Last week, there was a glitch in Google Chrome that caused over 15 million passwords to simply disappear, forcing the global tech company to publicly apologize.

Due to a bug in Chrome’s password manager feature, users were unable to use saved passwords between July 24 and 25, nor was it possible to save new passwords.

Google issued an apology for the error and stated that the problem was isolated to the M127 version of the Chrome browser on Windows.
