Google Working on Password Sharing Feature for Android Users

Are you tired of sharing passwords with your family members all the time? Google has some exciting news for you! They’re working on a new feature that will make password sharing a breeze for Android users.

In the latest update of Google Play Services, version 24.09.12, TheSpAndroid discovered a sneak peek of this feature. Although it’s still in development, it has already created a buzz. This new feature will be integrated into Google’s Password Manager, making it easier than ever to securely share passwords within your family group.

So, how does it work? Once the feature is fully rolled out, you’ll notice a “Share” button within the Password Manager. Simply tap on it, and you’ll be able to securely share a copy of your password with someone in your family group.

But here’s the best part: it’s not just about sharing passwords. Google is also ensuring your security. The feature will only work for accounts with passwords, not passkeys, which use different authentication mechanisms.

We’re still waiting for the full rollout and details on how recipients will access shared passwords, but this development is a promising step forward. It’s all part of Google’s efforts to enhance user experience and security in the ever-evolving landscape of internet authentication.
