Google Just Made It Way Easier to Move Your Keys Between Password Managers

Google has just made it dramatically easier to swap your saved passwords between different password managers on Android, and will now allow users to transfer their passkeys across different managers for the first time. When you open up your password manager app of choice, you can now click on a new option to import or copy your passwords and passkeys from another provider. The password manager will then hand the task over to Android, which will then detect existing password managers on your device and show you which one you can import from. Tap Continue and Android will bring you to your existing password manager to select, review, and authorize the transfer. After verifying your identity, Android will complete the migration automatically, meaning there is no need to manually import and export your logins via a CSV file (which can open up security issues of its own). The new feature uses the Credential Exchange Format (CXF), a standardized data structure published by the FIDO Alliance, designed to help users move log-ins between different password managers. The new feature is already available on Google Password Manager , 1Password , Bitwarden Password Manager , and Dashlane . Google says it will roll out integrations with more password managers in the future, though it didn't give a firm timeline. You don't need a modern device to get the feature to work; any device running 2017's Android 8 and above is supported. Password managers are becoming increasingly mainstream. As of 2023, more than one third (34%) of Americans say they're using some kind of password management tool according to a study from Security.org, though the majority (63%) are opting for free services.
