AMD to invest $400 million in India by 2028: Here’s what we know

US chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices said on Friday it will invest around $400 million in India over the next five years and will build its largest design center in the tech hub of Bengaluru. AMD’s announcement was made by its Chief Technology Officer Mark Papermaster at an annual semiconductor conference that started Friday in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s home state of Gujarat. Other speakers at the flagship event include Foxconn Chairman Young Liu and Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra. Despite being a late entrant, the Modi government has been courting investments into India’s nascent chip sector to establish its credentials as a chipmaking hub. AMD said it will open its new design centre campus in Bengaluru by end of this year and create 3,000 new engineering roles within five years. “Our India teams will continue to play a pivotal role in delivering the high-performance and adaptive solutions that support AMD customers worldwide,” Papermaster said.

Google’s Password Manager gets updated: Here are the four major changes

Google’s Password Manager is a helpful tool for you to quickly get through a website’s or an app’s login page. The company is updating the feature time-on-time and recently it added a home screen shortcut to the app so that you can easily access all your saved passwords on the home screen of your Android phone. Now, Google has made a handful of changes to how the password manager works on all the platforms. Unlike earlier, users can now get the same password management experience on all platforms including Android, iOS, and desktops.

Touch-to-fill turns into Touch-to-login

Google has updated the Password Manager’s ‘touch-to-fill’ feature to ‘touch-to-login,’ which is an overlay that will help you do one-touch logins on apps and websites on Android phones. For this to work, you will need to do biometric verification like it was in the touch-to-fill feature earlier.

Compromised Password warnings on all platforms

Additionally, the Password Manager will now give compromised password warnings on all platforms on Chrome. This includes Android, iOS, ChromeOS, Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Weak Password alerts

On top of this, on Android, the Password Manager will be able to check all your saved passwords and alert you if a weak or re-used password is being used. It will then allow you to update the weak passwords automatically.

Sign-in to apps with Password Manager on iOS

On the iOS side, if you set Chrome as the autofill provider, the Password Manager will also work within the apps. Interestingly, after some digging, we got to know that users can use both Chrome’s Password Manager as well as Apple’s Keychain for signing in to the apps on iOS devices.

That’s what the new update offers. It appears that Google is trying to offer a uniform experience of the Password Manager on all platforms.

In related news, Google recently updated the Assistant on Android. We have covered a separate story on this, but in short, what it does is, that it automatically alerts you within the Chrome browser if any of your passwords have been compromised, or if any site is deceptive before even logging in. It will then allow you to automatically change the password through the Google Assistant’s overlay on the Chrome browser.
