There is also a password alert chrome plugin by google [0].
If you ever enter your google password on any domain other than accounts.google.com.
It will immediately alert you and give you a link to change your password.
It can handle multiple passwords too if you have multiple google accounts.

- SamBam 10y agoIt sounds like the attackers got in almost instantly -- presumably they logged in via script, not a human. Changing your password at that point would probably be like closing the stable door after the horse has bolted. Still useful, I guess, because it lets you know immediately what's up, so you can send out emergency emails to your contacts.
- sly010 10y agoThe plugin actually alerts you the moment you press down the last key on your keyboard, before you could even press enter, so you don't even get a chance to submit the password. But even if you assume at that moment the attacker has your password... I had seen gmail takeovers live and Google's authentication system allows you to recover an account even after it was taken over as long as you still have the old methods of authentication and you are within an unspecified timeframe. Of course you will have to spend the day cleaning up your email filters and apologizing all your contacts, but at least you will have your account back.
