Android now enables secure, seamless switching between password managers by allowing direct transfer of passwords and passkeys between apps without requiring unencrypted file downloads. The feature is available on Google Password Manager, 1Password, Bitwarden, and Dashlane, with more partners planned.
Apple employee Ricky Mondello explains how iOS and macOS now enable secure, user-controlled switching between password managers through a standardized data transfer mechanism. The capability, built on FIDO Alliance's Credential Exchange format, allows users to export passwords, passkeys, and verification codes between apps like 1Password, Bitwarden, and Apple Passwords without data deletion or phishing risk.
