Sadly, Google retired Picasa on May 1, 2016.
They want you to use Google Photos instead.
I was basically forced to move to GP and downloading albums via browser. I still use Picasa app on my PC as a photo browser and to resize my pictures in batches but that's as far as it goes. Of course, if there's something good, somebody somewhere will find a way to screw it
This article gives some details:
