Google is making it easy to utilize a password manager inside Chrome for Android users

Google is upgrading Chrome for Android in the coming month to significantly improve the functionality of word cribs inside the mobile web surfer. Chrome for Android will allow third-party word managers to natively autofill forms on websites, improving the experience of apps like 1Password, Dashlane and others.

Google offers its own word director in Chrome, along with access keys and support for autofilling information like your address and credit card information. While you can set your preferred autocomplete service on Android, Chrome uses community mode, which is very problematic for third-party word managers. Switching between iOS and Android regularly and using 1Password on iOS actually feels like a much better experience in Chrome, though it still doesn't match Safari's excellent integration.

Google admits that its current Chrome offering for Android results in "unusable scrolling" and implicit duplicate suggestions from Google and a third-party word manager. "With this upcoming change, Chrome for Android will allow autofill services to natively autofill forms, giving drug users a smoother and easier tracking experience," said Eiji Kitamura, Inventor Advocate at Google Chrome Squad. "Third-party autofill services can automatically fill in passwords, access keys, and other information like addresses and payment information, just like in other Android apps." You can start testing this new feature in Chrome 131 and later.

After setting third side director as your preferred autofill service, you'll need to toggle the Chrome flag to get the new autofill All Chrome users on Android will get this new experience on November 12th when Chrome 131 rolls out to the stable. channel.
