Abstract: Disclosed embodiments pertain to protecting sensitive information. A browser extension associated with a web browser can detect a user entering information associated with the user into an electronic form. The browser extension can monitor the user entering sensitive information into the electronic form and detect that the user has entered sensitive information incorrectly. In response, the browser extension can provide a warning to the user that sensitive information has been incorrectly entered. Instructions can be displayed to a user on how incorrectly entered sensitive information is to be corrected. The incorrectly entered sensitive information is corrected based on a response from the user before the sensitive information propagates beyond the electronic form.

Abstract: Disclosed embodiments pertain to identifying sensitive data using redacted data. Data entry into electronic form fields can be monitored and analyzed to detect improperly entered sensitive data. The type of sensitive data can be determined, and the sensitive data can be removed or redacted from the electronic form field. Surrounding context data, including text associated with the sensitive data, can be identified and captured. The context data and type of sensitive data can be utilized to train or update a machine learning model configured to identify sensitive data. In one instance, the machine learning model can be employed to detect improperly entered sensitive data, and context and type can be utilized to improve the performance and predictive power of the machine learning model.
