Overview
- Android Authority uncovered a working but hidden Google Password Manager interface that adds passkey import and export on Android.
- The test transfer used Bitwarden and showed a built-in flow that could move passkeys so users do not have to re-register each account.
- The system relies on the FIDO Alliance’s Credential Exchange Protocol, which is built to move credentials between apps without exposing private keys.
- Reports say Google will block exports to apps that do not meet security checks, showing a warning that reads “Export blocked for your protection.”
- The feature is still in testing with no release date, and wider use will hinge on CXP support from Android password managers even as Apple, Bitwarden, and 1Password already offer passkey transfers.
