Your passkeys can now move between password managers on Android

Google enabled direct transfer of passwords and passkeys between Android password managers, allowing users to switch managers without downloading unencrypted text files. The feature operates within the destination app and completes the transfer in seconds, reducing the security risk of storing credentials in plaintext files.

Why it matters: Android users managing passkeys and passwords benefit from reduced exposure during migration, as the feature eliminates the need to stage sensitive data in unencrypted files on device.
