Title: Android Rolling Out Passkey Transfers Between Password Managers

Link: https://yro.slashdot.org/story/26/09/10/19222...

Android is rolling out a system-level way to securely transfer passwords and
passkeys between credential managers, eliminating the need to export
passwords as unencrypted text files or manually recreate passkeys. The
feature initially supports Google Password Manager, 1Password, Bitwarden, and
Dashlane, with other providers able to integrate through Android's
Credentials Transfer API. 9to5Google reports on how to initiate the system-
backed transfer method: 1. Start the move: Open your new password manager app
and choose the option to import or copy your passwords and passkeys from
another provider. The password manager will then hand the task over to
Android. 2. Let Android securely coordinate the data transfer: Android will
automatically detect existing password managers on your device and show you
which you can import from. 3. Review and authorize: Once you tap "Continue,"
Android will bring you to your existing password manager to select, review,
and authorize the transfer. Then your data will be quickly and securely
transferred between the apps in just a few seconds.
