Google is working on a new password manager for its Chrome browser that 
would also automatically create strong passwords for users.

The new manager is currently in the design phase, but Google has 
described the process by which it would work.

When a user visits a page that Chrome thinks is asking to set up an 
account, it will place a key icon in the password field of the 
registration form. If the person clicks on that key, Chrome will ask the 
user whether he or she wants it to create a password. If the user says 
yes, Chrome will generate a password that includes letters, numbers and 
characters that make it difficult for a hacker to crack and impossible 
for the user to remember -- and ask the user to approve it.

Chrome asks the user to approve the password because it may not jibe 
with the rules established by the site for a proper password. That means 
a person may have to modify the password manually before accepting it.
