Do you own apps and websites that share the same account system? Seamless credential sharing lets you securely signal to password managers that your users can sign in using the same credentials across your Android app and website, or across multiple sites you own.
Improve user experience and reduce costs
Many users rely on password managers to help them sign in. For example, 60% of all sign-ins on Chrome are assisted by Google Password Manager.
By implementing seamless credential sharing, you help password managers offer the right password in more cases. Once you've set up seamless credential sharing, users who use password managers which support the feature can effortlessly autofill their sign-in details across your websites and apps. Seamless credential sharing simplifies the sign-in experience for your users who use Google Password Manager, or other password managers like Dashlane.
Users who prefer to manually enter their credentials can keep doing so. Seamless credential sharing doesn't change their experience.
Beyond the user experience benefits, seamless credential sharing can also reduce support costs associated with failed sign-in attempts and SMS-based password recovery.
Set up seamless credential sharing
To set up seamless credential sharing, you need to add a few lines of code to your website and app, then create and publish a statement list that declares their relationship:
- Example: Seamless credential sharing across multiple websites
- Example: Share credentials across multiple websites and multiple Android apps
