Google Boosts Android Chrome with Third-Party Password Integration
Google is set to introduce a new credential feature for the Chrome browser on the Android platform, allowing integration with third-party password managers for automatic password filling.
This feature, in conjunction with the existing “autofill” functionality, aims to enhance the user experience when entering passwords.
Reportedly, the relevant content has appeared in “chrome://flags/#enable-autofill-virtual-view-structure” in Chrome 119. Once the feature is enabled, a new “autofill options” button appears in the settings of the Android platform’s Chrome browser. This button includes an option to allow third-party password managers to automatically fill in account passwords.
According to messages from X platform user Leopeva64, Chrome Dev is already able to fully run the new credential feature, and interested users can test it.

androidcentral suggests that many current third-party password managers struggle to recognize when users interact with login pages. Google’s solution is to trigger the third-party manager to provide account password information only when the browser detects input fields. This makes the process more convenient to use. However, it is currently unknown when Google will integrate this feature into the stable version of the Chrome browser.
