| How to Rename a Bluetooth Device on Your Mac Posted: 25 Feb 2021 08:07 AM PST  Bluetooth accessories often have long and complex default names that are hard to keep track of. On your Mac, thankfully, you have the option to rename a Bluetooth device to whatever you want—even an emoji. Here's how. First, click the Apple logo found in the top-left corner of your Mac's screen.
Select "System Preferences" from the dropdown menu.
Head into the "Bluetooth" settings.
You can only edit the names of Bluetooth accessories that are connected to your Mac at the moment.

In the pop-up's text field, enter the new name for your Bluetooth device. It can be as long as 64 characters and as brief as an emoji. You can press the Command+Control+Space keyboard shortcut to bring up the emoji picker. RELATED: How to Type Emoji on Your Mac with a Keyboard Shortcut Click the "Rename" button to save the new name. This update won't be immediately reflected on the quick settings available in the menu bar. For that, you'll have to reboot your Mac.
You can perform this process to update any Bluetooth-enabled device's name on your Mac, including wireless keyboards, mice, headphones, and more.
There are several more Bluetooth preferences you can look into to improve your wireless device experience on a Mac. You can force macOS to use the high-definition aptX or AAC codes, access Bluetooth options from the menu bar, and more.  |
| How to Export Contacts in Gmail Posted: 24 Feb 2021 02:53 PM PST
If you've built up an extensive network of email contacts in Gmail, you may want to export them to another service. To export Gmail contacts, you'll need to use Google Contacts, which you can access through Gmail itself. Because Gmail contacts are synced across your Google account, your saved contacts may include email addresses, phone numbers from synced mobile devices, and other additional contact information. Contacts are exported as vCard (VCF) or CSV files, allowing you to import them into any other email service, including Outlook. RELATED: How to Import and Export Contacts Between Outlook and Gmail This is only possible for Gmail users on the web and Android device owners using the Google Contacts app. iPhone and iPad users will need to use the web interface to export contacts, as the Google Contacts app isn't available for those devices. Export Gmail Contacts on Windows 10 PC or MacIf you're using Gmail from your web browser on a Windows PC or Mac, you can easily export Gmail contacts once you've signed in. To do this, open the Gmail website and click the app menu icon (consisting of several dots) in the top-right corner. From the drop-down menu, select the "Contacts" option.
This will take you to the Google Contacts page, where you can see an overview of your saved account contacts. If you want to select individual contacts to export, click the checkbox next to each entry in the "Contacts" section on the right-hand side.
Once you've selected your contacts (or if you want to export all saved contacts), select the "Export" option in the left-hand menu panel.
In the "Export Contacts" pop-up window, you can identify the contacts you wish to export. If you want to only export the contacts you've selected, choose the "Selected Contacts" option. Otherwise, you'll need to identify which category of contacts you wish to export from the drop-down menu immediately below it. For instance, you may want to export all saved contacts or an automatically generated list of frequently contacted email addresses. In the "Export As" section, choose the export method. You can export as Gmail- or Outlook-friendly CSV files, or as vCards, which are suitable for mobile devices like iPhones. When you're ready, click the "Export" button to export your contacts.
You'll be prompted to download the file at this stage. Choose a suitable file name, then save the file to your PC or Mac. You can then import it into another email service or into another Google account instead. Export Gmail Contacts on Mobile DevicesIf you own an Android phone or tablet, you can export Gmail contacts using the Google Contacts app rather than exporting them through the Gmail app directly. If you have an iPhone or iPad, you'll need to use the web interface (as explained above) to export contacts from your Google account instead. On your Android device, open the Google Contacts app and tap the hamburger menu icon in the top-left corner.
From the menu, tap the "Settings" option.
In the "Settings" menu, tap the "Export" option listed under the "Manage Contacts" category at the bottom.
If you're signed in to multiple Google accounts on your device, tap the checkbox next to the account you wish to export from. Once you're ready, select the "Export to .VCF File" option.
The Google Contacts app will save a copy of your contacts to your device as a vCard (.VCF) file. You can then import it to another service or app on your current device, or transfer it to another device (including a Windows 10 PC, Mac, iPhone, iPad, or another Android device) to import it there instead.  |
| Posted: 24 Feb 2021 01:40 PM PST On the surface, LastPass and Bitwarden are quite similar. They are both robust, server-based password managers with strong security. But they take different approaches when it comes to pricing, cross-device support, and transparency. Question is, which is right for you? Bitwarden Is More SecureWhen it comes to the basics, both LastPass and Bitwarden have the ground covered. They both offer AES-256 encryption, two-factor authentication, multi-factor authentication, and a zero-knowledge policy. All data is also encrypted during transfer, so you are safe from man-in-the-middle attacks. Neither of the companies can actually see your passwords. This means that even if their servers are hacked (like what happened to LastPass in 2015), hackers won't get access to your passwords. What gives Bitwarden a slight edge is the fact that the product is open-source. The code that runs the system is available online. This means that it can be checked online by experts to make sure that there are no major security issues. Bitwarden went through a successful third-party audit using Cure53 cybersecurity firm. And because the code is open-source, community members can create additional tools that work with Bitwarden data. Even if Bitwarden shuts down in the future, the products can still be developed by the open-source community. LastPass Is Easier to UseBitwarden was developed as a tool for businesses, and it shows. On the other hand, LastPass was built as a free product for the masses. On the whole, LastPass is easier to use. Whether it's the design of the web client, or how seamlessly the auto-fill functionality works using browser extensions. Bitwarden leans toward the utilitarian side, with features designed for power users. The browser's auto-fill feature is a prime example. When you want to log in to a website using Bitwarden, you'll first have to go to its extension and then select the login.
If you're signing up for a new account, you'll need to add the details first in the Bitwarden extension, and then use that on the web page. Instead, LastPass will show you the auto-fill data right in the fields. Just click and go.
On the flip side, Bitwarden is filled with power-user features. One of the experimental features at the time of writing will automatically fill in the login details as soon as the login page opens. This is even faster than using LastPass. When it comes to mobile apps, LastPass and Bitwarden both offer similar auto-fill experiences on iPhone and Android. Both integrate into the platform's own password auto-fill system. For beginners, LastPass wins the usability point. It's easier to use the auto-fill and sharing features. Bitwarden's Free and Paid Plans Are BetterWhat Bitwarden loses out on in the user experience, it more than makes up for with its features and pricing. Starting March 16, 2021, LastPass will only support one device type with its free plan. This means that you'll need to pay for the $3/month Premium plan if you want to use LastPass on your desktop along with your smartphone. Bitwarden offers a generous free plan. It includes cross-device support and unlimited logins for free. Even Bitwarden's premium accounts are cheaper when compared to LastPass. For an individual, Bitwarden Premium costs $10/year. It includes support for two-factor authentication and includes 1GB of secure storage. LastPass Premium, on the other hand, costs $3/month (but it does come with a one-month free trial). It's the same story with family and business plans (where the feature set for both products is fairly similar). You can get a Bitwarden Family account for six members for $40/year, while LastPass costs $48/year. Bitwarden wins with business plans as well. It offers a free business plan with two shared users. Bitwarden's team plan starts at $3/month for each user, while LastPass charges $4/month for each user. If you're looking to switch from LastPass to Bitwarden, you can easily transfer your passwords using a CSV file. RELATED: How to Transfer Your LastPass Passwords to Bitwarden Overall, Bitwarden Is Better for Most UsersIf you're looking for a secure and free password manager with cross-device support, we would recommend you take a look at Bitwarden. For most users, the free plan will be enough. You can pay the $10/year fee to add features like two-factor authentication and encrypted storage space while helping the company with the continued development of new features. Unfortunately, as we explained above, choosing Bitwarden means that you'll have to take a small hit when it comes to usability, but it's worth the price. On the other hand, if you find Bitwarden a bit too complex, and if you only plan to use the password manager on a single device, give LastPass's free plan a shot. If you need cross-device support, you can upgrade to the $3/month Premium plan, or you can get the $4/month Family plan and split the fees with your family members. While Bitwarden is the best competitor to LastPass's free plan, it's not the only alternative. You can try 1Password, or KeePass as well.

| How to Add Multiple Google Accounts on Android Posted: 24 Feb 2021 08:44 AM PST
Google accounts are tightly integrated into Android devices. Thankfully, if you have personal and work accounts, it's easy to add multiple Google accounts on your Android smartphone or tablet. You likely already have one Google account added to your Android device, the account you used when setting up the handset. If you have a Google account through work, you can add it and access your work emails, documents, and files as well. Here's how to do it. First, on your Android phone or tablet, swipe down from the top of the screen (once or twice, depending on your device's manufacturer) and tap the gear icon to open the Settings menu.
Next, scroll down and select the "Accounts" section.
Swipe down to the bottom of the page and tap "Add Account" under all your existing accounts.
Here, you will see all the apps on your device that can add accounts. The one we want is "Google."
The first thing you'll be asked to do is to verify that it's you. This is to protect you from other people's possible attempts to add accounts on your device. Enter whichever lock screen security method (PIN, password, pattern, fingerprint sensor) you use to lock the device.
Next, type your Google account email address or phone number in the text box and tap "Next." You can also create an account from this screen by selecting "Create account."
Enter your password in the text box and tap "Next." If you have two-factor authentication enabled, you'll have an extra security step after the password.
Now you will see information about the Google Terms of Service, the Google Play Terms of Service, and the Google Privacy Policy. Click on any of the links to read more. Tap "I Agree" when you're ready to proceed.
That's it. You can repeat this process for however many Google accounts you want to add. If you ever want to remove an account, simply go back to Settings > Accounts and select the Google account from the list. Tap the "Remove Account" button.
You're done! You will now be able to access this account through all of your Google apps. RELATED: How to Turn On Two-Factor Authentication for Your Google Account with Google Authenticator  |
