It's now easier to access your passwords on your Pixel phone

Owning a Google Pixel device has its own benefits, and one of them is having quick access to all the saved passwords on your Google account. Once you sign into your Google account, you’ll see that all of your passwords are readily available right on the phone. However, getting to your passwords can be a bit of a tedious task. So, the company thought that it would rectify this. According to a new report, it’s now easier to access the password manager on your Pixel phone.

Getting into your password manager on your Pixel phone was always pretty tedious. Not only that, but it was rather counter-intuitive. It wasn’t as in-your-face as most other features. So, people who aren’t quite tech-savvy may not even know that the feature exists. You have to go to the settings, tap on the Google button, go to Autofill, go to Autofill With Google, and then tap on Google Password Manager. That’s about as tedious as it gets.

Thankfully, Google added a new Password Manager shortcut for Pixel phones

This is another example of why the system search feature in stock Android comes in handy. All you have to do is tap on the Google search bar on the home screen or in the app drawer and start typing in what you want to search for. You will find results from online sources, but you’ll also see results of apps and services locally on your device.

Well, on the most recent version of Android 14, it looks like Google added a shortcut for the Password Manager. Instead of navigating to your settings and jumping through all of the Hoops, all you have to do is open the search bar and start typing in the word “password.”

When you do that, you will see a new Google password manager icon pop up. It will be at the top of the results. Just tap on the icon, and you’ll be able to access your passwords. This is an excellent solution for people who constantly want to keep an eye on their passwords but don’t want to constantly navigate through the settings
