Say goodbye to the password dance and hello to instant app access—because who has time to remember passwords when you can barely remember birthdays?
Hot Take:
Rejoice, Android users! Google’s got your back, or should I say your backup? No more password amnesia when you switch to that shiny new phone. Just sit back, relax, and let Google do the heavy lifting while you focus on more important things, like convincing your friends to switch to Android.
