Android now lets users move saved passwords and passkeys directly between password managers through a built-in OS process, without exporting unencrypted files. The system automatically detects compatible managers installed on the device and lets users review data before approving the transfer. Google confirmed support for Google Password Manager, 1Password, Bitwarden, and Dashlane, with more apps expected to add compatibility.

Google is rolling out a built-in Android feature that lets users securely transfer both passwords and passkeys directly between credential manager apps, replacing the old method of exporting unencrypted text files or manually recreating passkeys. At launch, the tool supports Google Password Manager, 1Password, Bitwarden, and Dashlane, with other providers able to add support via Android's Credentials Transfer API. Users initiate the process from their new password manager, and Android handles detection, review, and authorization before completing the transfer in seconds.
