Google has introduced a new browser security settings for Chrome users, called "Google password alert". As the name indicates, it's not exactly a Google alert. It's an extension in Chrome.
The main aim of Google by this technology is to give a message or security-alert when people enter their Google account passwords on any other non-trusted website.
Now, this feature is available only on Chrome. You can prevent phishing attacks by this extension.
For an example,
Sometimes you will get some spam email from hackers as the message looks like from Google. If you can't identify this attack, you will click on their link and submit your Google account password for login. The newly opened web page will be same as the Google.
