9 Useful Google Apps That Dont Come Pre-Installed on Android Phones
If you love Google services, these lesser-known apps can add surprising value to your device.
This little change will make accessing your Google passwords much easier!
Password management can be a real headache, especially when dealing with multiple accounts. While Google's Password Manager is a solid solution, accessing it requires digging through Chrome's settings.
But you can solve that problem with this simple toolbar shortcut.
A small shortcut with a big impact
Google Password Manager has quietly added a simple but important feature that's easy to overlook but hard to live without once you try it. You can add Google Password Manager as a desktop shortcut, essentially turning it into a standalone app that's accessible with a single click.
This small update seems to eliminate the annoying need to navigate through Chrome settings or your Google account whenever you need to see your Google Chrome passwords. Instead, Password Manager now sits right on your desktop or taskbar — just like any other app you use regularly. Setup is simple:
- Open Google Password Manager via Chrome settings or type chrome://password-manager in the address bar.
- After opening Password Manager, go to Settings.
- Find the Add shortcut option and select it.
- Click Install when prompted to create a desktop shortcut to Google Password Manager.
- The shortcut will appear on the desktop just like any other application.
- Pin it to the taskbar or Start menu for even faster access.
While this may seem like a small change, it’s a huge time saver for anyone who accesses their passwords regularly. Password Manager may be an essential Chrome toolbar button, but this dedicated shortcut is also a huge time saver.
For those who use password managers for more than just logging in, quick access becomes even more valuable.
This shortcut makes password management much better.
It’s impressive how well this feature handles multiple Google accounts. The desktop app makes switching between accounts simple. You just click your profile icon in the upper right corner and select a different Google account from the drop-down list. This is handy for anyone who separates work credentials from their personal passwords or manages a family account alongside their own.
Unfortunately, browser password managers aren't perfect. However, browser password managers can be quite secure if you take certain precautions. This shortcut makes it easier to take those precautions—like checking and updating your passwords regularly.
