Bringing together sign-in solutions and passkeys with Android's new Credential Manager

[google passkeys developer newsletter]

We are glad to announce the alpha release of Credential Manager, a new Jetpack API that allows app developers to simplify their users' authentication journey, while also increasing security with support of passkeys.

Credential Manager supports multiple sign-in methods, such as username/password, passkeys, and federated sign-in solutions (e.g., Sign-in with Google) in a single API, thus simplifying the integration for developers. Furthermore, for users, Credential Manager unifies the sign-in interface across authentication methods, making it clearer and easier for users to sign-in to apps, regardless of the method they choose.
