Google is developing a new feature that will allow secure passkey transfers between Android devices through its Google Password Manager service. The functionality, which is currently under development, aims to simplify the process of moving authentication credentials across devices while maintaining security standards. The development follows Google’s recent enhancements to its Password Manager, including improved security features and user interface updates.

The passkey transfer capability is being integrated into Google Password Manager, with recent releases of Google Play Services containing direct references to passkey export and import tools. These developments are part of Google’s broader effort to enhance authentication security and usability on Android platforms. The initiative comes as enterprise adoption of passkeys continues to grow, according to recent FIDO Alliance research.
