Google added a few nifty features to Password Manager

You'll never lose a password again.

OK, that's probably a step too far. We're all capable of great things, including somehow forgetting passwords that are stored in password management apps. But with a handful of small new additions to Google Password Manager, revealed late last week via blog post, you should have an easier time staying logged in to all your websites.

Real quick, if you don't know what Password Manager is, it's the thing that auto-fills your passwords in Chrome. You probably use it every day without realizing it exists.

These new features include a new "Password Manager" menu in Chrome for easy access and the ability to make a desktop shortcut for Password Manager. You'll also be able to set biometric locks (fingerprints, face scans) on desktop, provided your computer actually supports those features.

Beyond that, you can now add notes to each password. For example, if a site login requires both a password and a four-digit PIN, you can save the PIN as a note on the password so you have easy access to both. If you use an alternative password app like Lastpass or 1Password, you can download your stores passwords as a .csv file and import them into Google Password Manager.

Last but not least, iOS users are getting a feature that will flag weak or overused passwords for you, so you can change them if you feel like it.

Just remember that you can also write down your passwords on a piece of paper if you need to.
