Google facilitates access to its password manager on Android. From now on, a dedicated application is available directly on the Play Store.
So far, access the Google password manager on Android could be tedious because it was necessary to navigate in the settings of your account. With the arrival of a official application Downloadable from the Play Store, the experience becomes much simpler and faster.
Finally an application for the Google password manager
Google now offers its password manager in the form of an application that can be found and install from the Play Store. In reality, this is not a new independent service, but direct access to the manager already integrated into Android. The application acts as a shortcut: in a single gesture, the user can open and manage his identifiers without having to search in the system menus.
This solution is more practical than previous methods. So far, it was possible to manually create a shortcut, but it sometimes generated a double icon unattractive on the reception screen. The other option consisted in going through a series of submenus in the parameters of its Google account, which considerably extended the operation.
A simple alternative to complex menus
With this application, Google intends to meet a request for simplicity. Users who wish can always access the manager via the dedicated website or by following the classic path: Settings> Google account> Security> Password manager. But for the most part, this shortcut will be enough and save precious time.
