we need a smart password manager that detects a data breach, immediately changes the password of all the users that were using that website with some integration of changing their data on the backend of that website too. They would need to partner up with literally every damn website on the planet to accomplish this
- patmorgan23 3y agoLastPass had a feature that would change in your password for you. It was just a script that ran in your browser and log-in to the website and submitted the website change password form.
- al_borland 3y ago1Password shows compromised accounts and links you out to the site to change the password. It also has reports to show duplicate passwords, weak passwords, and things of that nature. It’s not completely hands off (and I don’t know that I’d want it to be… there are a few passwords I don’t want it changing without my knowledge), but it’s something.

- tkems 3y agoThis is a pretty good idea, but does have an issue with shared passwords. In most attacks, the data on that site is compromised and changing your password afterwards just prevents further exploitation by others. What some password manager do is monitor for shared passwords (i.e. using the same password on Site A and Site B). This prevents attackers from cracking the password hash offline and trying the username/email and password in a bunch of different sites.
- kyle_grove 3y agoNordPass does the first part of this—it at least alerts you to breaches and prompts you to change it. I think the full use case you describe is better suited for a passkey manager, since passkeys are marching generated already.
