Not every app arrives with a cautionary tale attached as Yubo did.

Switching password managers has always been a pain. You either had to export everything into a plain text file (basically the least secure place your passwords could live) or, if you used passkeys, you had no option at all except recreating them one by one on every site. Google just fixed both problems with a new system built directly into Android. Before this update, moving your saved logins to a new password manager meant downloading an unencrypted file full of your passwords.

Apple says the new ANC blocks up to 50% more outside noise than the ANC in AirPods 4.
