“Use Google Password Manager to securely share your passwords with your family group.”
According to Android Authority, Google’s Password Manager now supports the sharing of passwords with family members, although in a restricted manner. In Google Password Manager, you now have the ability to safely share your passwords with several members of your family group thanks to this addition. According to a support page published by Google, “When you share a password, your family members will receive a copy of it in their Google Password Manager, ready to be used.”
Although Google made the announcement of the feature for the first time in February 2024 as part of Safer Internet Day, the company is eventually implementing the function as part of the Google Play Services update version 24.20 that was released in May 2024. Sharing passwords is restricted to only those individuals who are members of a family group; therefore, you will need to build a family group and invite any members to utilize it.
In the event that you are a member of a family group, the Google Password Manager ought to provide you with the convenience of a “share” button. Android Authority, on the other hand, pointed out that the feature might not be activated entirely in the desktop version of Chrome just yet.
In a previous post, Google discussed some possible applications of this technology, including situations in which “two members of a family are coordinating with daycare through a single account, or a child is letting a parent access their school assignments.”
