always has been the second option

My sites give me an option of remembering the device so I only have to do it
 once on the first use. But if you're using someone else's device you won't
 want to do it for security reasons.

So I'm thinking this change must have come about because of smart
phones, right?? And that implies it's harder to save password in smart
phones than in computers.  Is that so, and why? And why have they not
fixed it?

For non-sensitive sites I let Google remember and insert my passwords.
 Easy-peasy. And if you're a Google paranoid there are several other
 password managers available...
