Google wants you to log in once on Android - with any password manager
Google is
backing the new OpenYOLO initiative to allow all password managers gain
the autofill features that its own Smart Lock password manager offers on
Android.
Google is developing an open-source API to ease the hassle of
logging-in to apps, particularly for those who use unique passwords for
each of their accounts.
The API, dubbed OpenYOLO -- short for 'you only log in once' --
will give developers a secure way to use passwords stored in password
managers to help users log in to their apps.
Dashlane will be
the first password manager to support the open API, although it's hoped
other popular password managers will join the cause to simplify
authentication for Android apps.
"Google is excited to support
the launch of this project with Dashlane and help create a new open
standard for app authentication," said Iain McGinniss, a Google software
engineer who helped build Smart Lock for Passwords on Android.
"This project is part of our longstanding support of open technology
standards that provide great, secure user experience to end users."
