Google Password manager on Android could soon allow you to safely share passwords with your family،
If you use Google Chrome's password manager and manage some online accounts that you share with a family member, there may be a new feature in the works that will make your life a lot easier. The potential new feature would allow members of Google Family Groups to easily and securely share passwords within the group.

Fortunately, LeSPAndroid noticed that Android may soon add the ability to share passwords within a family group. This was found first in the desktop version of Google Chrome and then in the latest version of Google Play Services (version 09.24.12 190400-610662703). This suggests that Google won't leave Android devices behind when it comes to this feature. In the screenshots shared below, you can see that a new “Share” button will appear under a saved account and next to the “Edit” and “Delete” buttons. “options. Once pressed, you will then see an additional message to confirm that you want to share the password and inform you that it is only for members of your family group, which you can manage in your Google account settings .

Although the feature is still under development, screenshots suggest that the process could also be quite simple for the recipient. After sharing a password, the recipient may see a tooltip when visiting the website on their own device, letting them know that the credentials are available. The feature, in its current form, seems designed only for passwords and not access keys.
It's important to note that Google is likely still refining the system and the procedure could change before the official release. However, if this feature were officially rolled out, it would likely eliminate the need to share passwords via unsafe methods, such as unencrypted text messages or email.
