Credential sharing fundamentals

  • Web and Android developers can simplify user sign-in by implementing credential sharing, allowing secure sharing of credentials across platforms.

  • Credential sharing is enabled by hosting a Digital Asset Links JSON file on websites and declaring credential sharing capabilities in Android app manifests.

  • Google verifies the configuration and then suggests saved credentials, streamlining account management tasks like sign-up, sign-in, and password changes across linked platforms.

Web and Android developers can implement credential sharing to simplify the sign-in experience for their users.

Seamless credential sharing allows Google Password Manager and other identity technologies to securely share credentials across websites and Android apps. This simplifies the sign-in experience, as Google Password Manager can automatically populate user credentials on your websites and apps.

To declare that your Android apps and websites can share credentials:

  • Host a Digital Asset Links (DALs) JSON file on your websites declaring a credential sharing relationship.
  • Declare your Android app's ability to share credentials in your app's manifest.

After Google verifies your declared credential sharing configuration, it suggests saved credentials to users, streamlining account management tasks (sign-up, sign-in, password changes, and password resets) across all linked platforms.
