It’s a very odd and somewhat inconvenient way of doing things.
For years, accessing the Google Password Manager has been a multistep process.
Other platforms force you to visit chrome://password-manager/passwords in the Chrome internet tool.
Things improved a bit in 2022, whenGoogle introduced a Password Manager shortcut for Android.
Adding this shortcut to your home screen is a pain, though.
Today’s update adds the Google Password Manager to the Pixel Launchernot your app drawer, thePixel Launcher.
That’s the search bar on your Pixel phone’s home screen.
The Google Password Manager may appear in your search.
Note that you may need to minimize your keyboard to see the shortcut.
Oddly, searching for “Google Password Manager” doesn’t work.
This improvement is only available on Pixel devices.
It hasn’t been formally announced by Google, and it’sgraduallyrolling out to users.
This feature may require the latest Pixel firmware update.
It seems that Google is finally realizing the obviouspeople want apps.
