Google Chrome's password manager isn't as robust as what's available. One shortcoming is you couldn't add passwords yourself. You'll have to wait for the browser's prompt. But that might change soon. Android Police noted that the latest stable version of Chrome has a buried flag that allows you to manually add passwords. 

A Reddit user spotted the feature in the Canary builds of Chrome at the end of 2021. The same user also spotted a recent Chrome Canary 101 feature, which lets you add notes for passwords. It's another feature unavailable on the current Google Chrome iteration.

Startup OnwardMobility hoped to bring back the BlackBerry brand through a 5G-equipped Android device. But the company has announced its shutdown on its site. "It is with great sadness that we announce that OnwardMobility will be shutting down, and we will no longer be proceeding with the development of an ultra-secure smartphone with a physical keyboard," the company wrote in a statement on its website.

There have been reports before about the BlackBerry project being cancelled, but there was speculation OnwardMobility would still develop a keyboard-equipped 5G Android phone without the BlackBerry name. But now that isn't going to happen. It didn't mention why they didn't push through. But as The Verge pointed out, it wouldn't have been easy to enter the smartphone business amid a global chip shortage.
