Google introduces Credential Manager for smooth sign-in experience

Google has introduced the alpha version of Credential Manager, a new Jetpack API that allows app developers to simplify their users’ authentication journey. The company claims that the version of Credential Manager will improve security with the support of passkeys.

The company reveals that the Credential Manager supports multiple sign-in methods, such as username/password, passkeys, and federated sign-in solutions (e.g., Sign-in with Google) in a single API, thus simplifying the integration for developers. Along with this, the Credential Manager also unifies the sign-in interface across authentication methods, making it clearer and easier for users to sign in to apps.

“Bringing together sign-in solutions and passkeys with Android’s new Credential Manager. This provides a seamless sign-in experience, freeing your users from having to remember usernames or passwords,” said the company.
