Android rolling out passkey transfers between password managers

In the past, transferring credentials between password managers involved “downloading them into an unencrypted text file, which left them unprotected on your device.” Meanwhile, passkeys did not originally offer a transfer method, thus requiring you to manually “recreate them across multiple sites and apps.”

Since it will work with Android 8+ devices I guess it will need Google play services?

At launch, the transfer experience is supported by Google Password Manager, 1Password, Bitwarden Password Manager, and Dashlane.

Pretty limited in terms of participating password managers.

For now

It doesn’t appear to directly depend on Google Play Services but I’m not 100%

those companies are the ones that worked on the standart, so makes sense they have it ready on release. The others will follow.

How will it be rolled out on devices that are no longer having updates then?
