How does Autochange Password work?
The feature works by directly logging into the websites and generating a strong password on your behalf. The new passwords are generated locally by Password Manager and are transmitted in a secure manner. The newly generated passwords are saved in your Norton Password Manager vault, for which only you have access to.
A green header appears on the tab if the Autochange Password feature successfully updates the password for a website.
A red header appears on the tab if the Autochange Password feature fails to update the password for a website.
Once Autochange successfully changes the password, you should see an increase in the password strength percentage for the login password. An increase in the overall Safety Dashboard score is also seen after Autochange Password successfully changes the password.

When the Autochange Password fails after submitting the change password from the website, the login is saved with the new passwords with the naming convention <websitename> Autochange Fail <Date Time>.
