Google password manager which is development of a tool for creating and saving passwords for Google Chrome, is undoubtedly the most used tool of this type today. Of course, this is due, among other things, to its integration into the most used web browser in the world, yes, but even we cannot limit its success exclusively to this reason, because in fact we are talking about a quite competent solution that is also integrated every time. better on Android (and even iOS, thanks to the GBoard keyboard).

In addition, and this is an important point, the Google password manager immediately alerts us if the security of any of the credentials we have in it was compromised. If you still don’t know how it works and want to see how it alerts you to these issues, I recommend the article we published about it a few months ago, where you can see how you can significantly improve your security with this handy tool.

A very interesting function that we can find in the web version of the manager is import credentials that we have stored and managed in other services, applications, etc.. This way we can centralize key management and possibly permanently delete that excel file that if it got into the wrong hands would mean a total breach of your security (yes, as surprising as it may seem, there are still people who store their usernames and passwords to the table).

As I say, this has been possible for some time when using the service from a PC, but as we can read in Android Police, this possibility will soon be expanded, and this is because Google is already testing importing CSV files from its password manager on Android, eliminating the need for a computer to perform this operation. In this, according to the media, Google would be a pioneer, because other solutions of this type necessarily require the use of a web interface.

At the moment the feature is hidden in the password managerwhich you can access from Google Chrome for Android, but part of what will be its GUI can now be made visible after completion and deployment (it currently redirects to the web when trying to import). There is no public date yet.
