Google Chrome Passwords Vanish for 15 Million Windows Users for 18 Hours

Google's Chrome browser experienced a significant issue where millions of saved passwords vanished for 15 million Windows users. The problem persisted for 18 hours, during which credentials kept in Chrome's password manager were inaccessible. Forbes estimates that Google's Chrome temporarily lost millions of saved passwords. Google has since apologized for the incident and patched a Workspace authentication flaw to prevent account takeover attempts.
