Android 15 - Cannot set default password app
Hi - Lizzie sharing some of the concerns of others here:
A credential manager is a great way to manage passwords, and I can see from the comments here how important this is to many of you here, but from a work perspective we’ve heard concern from customers that end-users could save work-related passwords in non-approved credential managers - which could add additional risk.
For us, our company credential manager of choice is 1Password. We require everyone to use 1Password, and not to use the Google Password Manager.
For those of you who are using GEM (Google Endpoint Manager), I understand your frustration here - the team is actively working on building support for allowlisting Google Password Manager for users’ credentials. I have been following this closely and can see that they are making progress and I hope to update when I have more news on this.
I can see that selecting Google Password Manager is now possible, but we still can't require that all employees use 1Password. This is incentivising our employees to not use a password manager, or it is causing them to have to copy and paste credentials manually from the 1Password app.
Do you have an update on when we will be able to enforce third party apps, rather than Google Password Manager?
Thank you,
Ed
Add us to the list of 1 password requesters.
Been a long time android and Pixel loyalist but this kinda stuff frustrates me to no end. Losing key functionality for no good reason.
