Overview
- Google rolled the feature into Play‑system‑services so Android can move credentials directly between the Google Password Manager and third‑party password managers using the FIDO Credential‑Exchange standard.
- Transfers use end‑to‑end encryption and support both passkeys and traditional passwords, avoiding the need to export sensitive data into unencrypted CSV or JSON files.
- Major password managers such as Bitwarden, 1Password and Dashlane and Apple’s system password manager already support the Credential‑Exchange protocol, enabling cross‑ecosystem migrations.
- Delivering the feature through Play‑services means many current Android phones, tablets, TVs, Auto units and Chromebooks can get the capability without a full manufacturer OS update.
- Google is deploying the Play‑services update progressively and is also separately updating the Play Store with UI tweaks, clearer pricing displays and redesigned download dialogs.
