Has anybody had a problem with these files? I just noticed them appear out of nowhere on my MacBook. Its rooted as such: Library > Application Support > Google > Chrome > ZxcvbnData > 1. Can somebody explain to my why google would impose such files onto my computer? Hacker maybe?
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15
No hacker. Its perfectly normal. passwords.txt is a list of easily guessed passwords, bad words and other strings used as passwords that Chrome uses when you ask it to generate a password for a website. It will compare the randomly generated password against the list to make sure it's not one of those or contains one of those words.

Yeah, Google Chrome seemingly adds that of its own accord.

Delete Chrome and the other Google apps, if you don’t want Google active on your device.
