Google has started working on the aliro standard

The latest beta version of Google Play Service added a service named com.google.android.gms.aliro.service.AliroNfcApduService . It's currently disabled and it's just starting of the work on this standard. Just like Matter protocol, aliro will also be a part of Google Play Services.

What's aliro?
Apple, Google, and Samsung have teamed up with lock makers and chip makers, including Allegion (Schlage), Assa Abloy (Yale), Qualcomm, and NXP, to build an open standard for smart locks and digital keys, using devices like your smartphone or smartwatch. Launching Thursday, the effort is called Aliro, and if you’ve ever enjoyed using Apple’s Home Key technology on your watch or phone to unlock your door, you’ll be excited about this new standard.

Password Manager will allow you to import CSV password files

Currently you can export all your passwords as a CSV file, but to import it, you need to use the web version of password manager. That can change in future as the password manager in the Google Play Services will allow you to import CSV files by picking it from phone storage. The process is simple as you can see in the screenshot but it doesn't show what's being imported, and seems like it can detect duplicates and only imports the original ones.

Is Google going to rename the Google app to Gemini or they are referring the Ai Assistant part as Gemini app?

I am gonna go with the second assumption.
