App, PIN and data handling

There is a Google Password Manager app available, and documentation covers how to install or uninstall it. The service also supports a Google Password Manager PIN for additional device-level access control. Google states it collects certain information to perform password management services on your device; users can consult the service settings for details about how their data is handled.
