The short version
  • Android has introduced a secure, on-device login transfer process to migrate passwords and passkeys between password managers without using unencrypted CSV files.
  • The new system relies on Google's Credential Transfer API and currently supports Google Password Manager, 1Password, Bitwarden, and Dashlane.
  • Integrated with Google Play Services, the feature works on Google-certified devices running Android 8.0 Oreo or higher.
