By integrating Smart Lock for Passwords into your Android app, you can automatically sign users in to your app using the credentials they have saved. Users can save both username-password credentials and federated identity provider credentials.
Integrate Smart Lock for Passwords into your app by using the Credentials API to retrieve saved credentials on sign-in. Use successfully retrieved credentials to sign the user in, or use the Credentials API to rapidly on-board new users by partially completing your app's sign in or sign up form. Prompt users after sign-in or sign-up to store their credentials for future automatic authentication.
See some case studies of successful Smart Lock for Passwords integrations.
// Store user credentials with Auth.CredentialsApi.save()
Auth.CredentialsApi.save(mCredentialsClient, credential).setResultCallback(
new ResultCallback() {
@Override
public void onResult(Status status) {
if (status.isSuccess()) {
// Credentials were saved
} else {
if (status.hasResolution()) {
// Try to resolve the save request. This will prompt the user if
// the credential is new.
try {
status.startResolutionForResult(this, RC_SAVE);
} catch (IntentSender.SendIntentException e) {
// Could not resolve the request
}
}
}
}
});
// Retrieve stored credentials with Auth.CredentialsApi.request()
Auth.CredentialsApi.request(mCredentialsClient, mCredentialRequest).setResultCallback(
new ResultCallback() {
@Override
public void onResult(CredentialRequestResult credentialRequestResult) {
if (credentialRequestResult.getStatus().isSuccess()) {
// Handle successful credential requests
} else {
// Handle unsuccessful and incomplete credential requests
}
}
});
