Google facilitates switching between password managers on Android and includes passkey transfer

SAPO Tek11 September 2026 at 17:05

Android now allows switching between password managers more simply, eliminating the need to use unprotected CSV files to export and import credentials. This new feature was developed to facilitate the transition between different password management applications without compromising the security of users' data.

The feature is already compatible with several popular services, including Google Password Manager, 1Password, Bitwarden, and Dashlane. This list covers some of the main options used by consumers to store and manage their access credentials.

In addition to transferring traditional passwords, the new Android feature also allows the transfer of passkeys, the access keys that represent a more secure alternative to conventional passwords. This ability to migrate passkeys between different managers represents a significant advance in interoperability between platforms.
