Google Lets Rival Password Apps Swap Your Credentials On Android
Announced September 10, 2026, Android brokers the exchange directly between apps, finishing in seconds without an exported file.
- Four apps already support the swap: Google Password Manager, 1Password, Bitwarden and Dashlane.
- You start the move in the new app, then authorize it inside the old one.
- Product managers Jean-Pierre Pralle and Chirag Desai announced it for Android 8 and up.
Why it matters: The company that makes Android decides how easily you can leave its own password manager for a rival's.
