The Password Health score checks the passwords saved in your Google Account. It looks at several important factors. It checks if your passwords are strong enough. It checks if you use the same password for many different websites. It also checks if any passwords were involved in a known security breach. The feature gives each password a rating. It then calculates an overall score for your account’s password health. This score appears clearly in your Google Account settings.
Seeing a low score means your passwords need attention. A high score means your passwords are generally strong and secure. Google hopes this tool encourages better password habits. Users can see which specific passwords are weak or reused. They can then change those passwords easily. Google provides direct links to update risky passwords.
This update is part of Google’s ongoing security work. The company believes everyone deserves strong account protection. Making password health visible is a key step. The Password Health score is rolling out now. It is available to users worldwide. Look for it in your Google Account security settings. Users do not need to do anything special to get it.
