This has to be one of the EASIEST ways to create a one-tap privacy
shortcut, bar none! <https://i.postimg.cc/R05RX9zS/passwordmanager01.jpg>

As you know, privacy settings are scattered about so I'm creating, one by
one, one-tap shortcuts to put into a homescreen folder named "Privacy".

Looking around, I found yet another privacy-based setting scattered deeply
inside Android settings, where, surprisingly, this Android setting is the
first I've ever seen that has its own button to make a shortcut to it!
Android 13 Settings > General management > Passwords and autofill >
Google > Gear >

There you have the choices of...
Offer to save passwords = on/off
Sign in automatically = on/off

But look below that - and you have an option to create a one-tap shortcut.
A one-tap shortcut to a privacy setting?
Wow!
Fancy that!

It doesn't get any easier than that!
Android 13 Settings > General management > Passwords and autofill >
Google > Gear > Add shortcut to your home screen
"To get here quicker, add Google Password Manager
to your home screen"

I wish all Android privacy settings were like that - as it would make it
easier to make a "Privacy" folder of privacy settings as shown below.
