Overview

• Google's new 'Restore Credentials' feature allows Android users to stay logged into apps when switching to a new device.
• The feature leverages the Android Credential Manager API to securely store and transfer encrypted restore keys between devices.
• Restore keys can be backed up to the cloud via Google Backup or stored locally, though developers can opt out of cloud storage.
• The functionality is available for devices running Android 9.0 and above, ensuring broad compatibility across the ecosystem.
• Currently in Developer Preview, the feature is expected to enhance user experience and app developer engagement as integration expands.
