For years, Google Password Manager has been one of the simplest methods to store all your passwords in one place on your Android devices. It is also happening to synchronize with your Google account, which facilitates the taking of your passwords almost anywhere. Until now, however, you have had to access the Google Password Manager by browsing a list of parameters that could vary depending on the phone you use. But now Google has published an official application that will take you where you have to go.
The application, which collected under 100 reviews at the time of writing the editorial moment, is completely free – as you can imagine, because Google already offers a password manager as a free feature of your Google account. THE Google Play list Said that the application is “a shortcut to Google Password Manager on your phone, which makes you faster and easier for you to find and manage your password, your keys and more”.
Despite the fact that this does not bring anything new to the table, the release of this new shortcut application puts the Google password manager more equally with the apple password application, which received an official application in parallel with the release of iOS 18.
A little useful change
Despite the amount of improvement in quality of life, the publication of Google’s password application has mainly stolen under the radar. There was no big announcement, and Google did not really highlight it during the official revelation of its Pixel 10 range in August. You can previously add a shortcut for Google Password Manager to the home screen of your device, but this would also add an annoying and tiny version of the icon to indicate that it was not a real application icon. It is no longer a concern with the official application.
Just like the other Google experiences that are already integrated into your phone – like Google Gemini – The Google Password Manager app is just an easier way to access the services on which you count daily. I always prefer to use Proton Pass, which allows you to do the same things as the Google password manager – as well as certain things that it is not. But Google’s password management solution is a solid option for those who want something integrated into their device. There is also the fact that Google Password Manager is only one of the many Android safety functions that have been integrated into the operating system.
