New Google password manager additions were revealed at Google I/O 2021. The new features include a new password import tool and deeper integration between Chrome and Android platforms. A fast way to fix compromised passwords and accounts using Duplex has also been announced. Google’s Jen Fitzpatrick talked about four new features that are coming to the company’s Password Manager. One of the goals of these features is to stop the use of the same password by a user on multiple accounts.
Google is well-known for joining in on the April Fool’s Day fun, with past gags including Google Maps for NES, Google Voice for Pets, and toilet-based internet connectivity.
The company has made at least four announcements today to mark the occasion, and there’s no mistaking most of them for the real deal. We take a look at all of these ridiculous reveals.
Snake in Google Maps The first announcement is actually the only legitimate one on the list, as Google is allowing Maps users to play Snake on the service.
The Google Play Store is the hub from which you will attain most of the things you use on your phone every day. That could mean just apps and games or you may even use it for movies, TV, books, and music. In either case, you’re bound to get quite a few searches piled up. For whatever reason, you may want to get rid of them and we’ll show you the two best methods to do so.
Today, Samsung announced a slew of Galaxy A devices. A-series phones are Sammy’s budget offerings with lower-grade specs but also very reasonable prices. Last year, the Galaxy A series did exceptionally well. At the top of this year’s heap is the Samsung Galaxy A72, shown above.
Although the Galaxy A72 offers a lot of higher-end specs as compared to the other phones in the Galaxy A family, it also lacks 5G support.
The Samsung Galaxy A50 retails for $350, so including the $100 credit, that’s $450 in savings. The only caveat is that you must purchase the Galaxy Note 10 or S10 device through a Verizon, AT&T, or Sprint installment plan.
Also, if you want to purchase one of these devices but you don’t want the A50, you have a few other deals to choose from as well. Some options include $200 of in-store credit, $750 off a second Galaxy S10 or Note 10 device, or $250 off of a Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e.
There are a lot of reasons to love coding. It’s highly rewarding, it can open doors in your career and it gives you a greater understanding of how things work.
But it’s also just cool. Sitting in a café in front of a glowing screen filled with code has a certain romantic appeal. To others, you look like some kind of wizard/witch with an uncanny ability to manipulate technology. And there’s something haunting about the glow of the monitor and the quiet whirring of your computer.

Windows 11 has been unofficially ported to the OnePlus 6T and several other Snapdragon 845 phones. It’s not perfect just yet as some aspects like audio and Wi-Fi don’t work right now. The news comes after a hacker ported Windows 11 to Microsoft’s last flagship Windows Phone. Microsoft released a Windows 11 preview last week, allowing consumers to test-drive the new update. But we also saw the platform ported to the 2015-era Lumia 950 XL Windows Phone.
Yesterday, some rare behind-the-scenes news broke related to Google and its line of Pixel phones. In a nutshell, some of the leads at Google expressed disappointment regarding the design of the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL before the devices even launched, and the line’s poor sales are proving their gut feelings correct.
Two of the most important people on the Pixel team have recently left. One of them is Marc Levoy, the computational photography expert who is a huge reason why Google Pixel cameras are so highly regarded.
Modding has been huge in the PC gaming world for years. In fact, several mods have gone on to become hit franchises on their own, such as PUBG, which was originally a mod for the game Arma 3.
Android game modding hasn’t really been a thing, though. However, the popular Android emulator service BlueStacks is working to change that. Today, the company (in partnership with its partner site Now.gg) is rolling out Creator Studio and Creator Hub.
