Switching password managers is easy and safe on Android
A new Android feature lets you securely transfer passwords and passkeys between password managers.
Google is now making it simple and secure to switch password managers on Android devices. The company is launching a new feature that allows users to effortlessly move their passwords and passkeys between different password managers with just a few clicks, without any file downloads or security risks. Traditionally, transferring passwords involved downloading them into an unprotected text file, and passkeys could not be transferred at all, requiring users to recreate them on every site and app.
This new transfer process is now available on Google Password Manager, along with popular options like 1Password, Bitwarden Password Manager, and Dashlane, with more partners joining soon. Users can expect complete control over their data and the freedom to change password managers at any time. Detailed instructions on how to import passwords and passkeys are available in Google's Help Center.
