TL;DR
- Google is finally making password manager switching easier by letting users securely import and export passwords and passkeys between Google Password Manager and third-party apps.
- The new Credential Exchange standard eliminates reliance on insecure CSV exports, creating a safer way to move sensitive login data across platforms.
Passkey and password management on Android has been a confusing, disjointed mess, but Google’s latest update provides a standardized, secure bridge for anyone looking for Google Password Manager alternatives like Bitwarden or 1Password.
In its June 2026 release notes for Play services, Google announced that it has added support for importing and exporting passwords and passkeys between Google Password Manager and third-party password managers using the Credential Exchange standard. Android Authority previously discovered clues about this change in Google Password Manager last month. Now, the feature is official with Google Play services version 26.21, which began rolling out June 1.
