In 2023, we introduced Credential Manager for Android. Credential Manager creates a unified experience for passkeys, Sign in with Google, and passwords, allowing seamless sign-in and eliminating the need for users to type in usernames or passwords.
To bring Credential Manager’s benefits to more Android users and simplify developers’ integration efforts, APIs that were previously deprecated will continue their phased removals and shutdowns. These APIs include:
Developers with apps that still use these APIs should migrate to Credential Manager as soon as possible. Credential Manager supports all authentication features included in these legacy APIs, as well as streamlined journeys for users and modernizes the experience with passkey support and streamlined user journeys. Developers looking to implement authorization functionality for Google Accounts, such as scoped access to a service like Google Drive, should continue to use the AuthorizationClient API.

Credential Manager delivers multiple advantages to users and developers over the deprecated APIs:
For developers previously using our deprecated APIs, the transition to Credential Manager is smooth and intuitive. Developers like X (formerly known as Twitter), Pinterest have already experienced the benefits of the upgrade. X shared with us that Credential Manager’s unified approach made migration and maintenance effortless, while Pinterest expressed a smooth process for both users and engineers with Credential Manager.
Developers can use the following guides to make adopting Credential Manager even easier:
Your input is very valuable to us as we continue to refine and improve our authentication services. Please keep providing us feedback on the issue tracker and share your experience integrating Credential Manager!
