Google will make it easier to use password managers in Chrome for Android

Next month, Google will release an update to the Android version of Chrome to significantly improve the password managers in its Internet browser. After installing it, compatibility with third-party password managers such as 1Password, Dashlane and others will be improved.

The Chrome browser has its own password manager, which can be used to store confidential data and auto-fill authorization forms on websites. However, in comparison with some analogues from third-party developers, it does not look very convenient. The AutoFill feature uses compatibility mode within Chrome, which means that using third-party managers may cause hangs. On iOS, similar integration in Safari looks more successful.

Google admits that in its current form, the Android version of Chrome may experience intermittent page scrolling and duplication of data from its own password manager and third-party equivalents. “With these upcoming changes, Chrome on Android will allow third-party services to autofill forms, making the browser experience easier and smoother,” a Google spokesperson said.

Testing of this innovation will begin in Chrome 131 and later versions of the browser. Once you select a third-party password manager as your preferred autofill service, you’ll need to enable the option on the Experimental Features page in Chrome. All users will be able to evaluate the innovation on November 12, when Google releases a stable version of Chrome 131.
