Your passkeys can now move between password managers on Android

Your passkeys can now move between password managers on Android Google turned on a transfer feature in Android that moves passwords and passkeys straight from one password manager to another, with no file to download along the way. You start it from inside the app you are switching to, and Google says the data moves between the apps in a few seconds.

“Historically, moving your passwords meant downloading them into an unencrypted text file, which left them unprotected on your device,” Google said. Passkeys , the sign-in credentials that stand in for a password and live inside the manager, could not be transferred between managers at all, by Google’s account, so a switch meant recreating each one across the sites and apps that used it.
