Dashlane and Google Establish New Open Source API Project to Enable Simple, Secure App Logins for Android Users

Today, we’re very excited to announce a very special open-source project that we’re working on with Google to enhance and simplify your security! Dashlane and Google, along with other leading password managers are collaboratively developing “Open YOLO” (You Only Login Once)–an open API for App Developers that will give Android apps the ability to access passwords stored in your favorite password manager, and effortlessly and securely log you into those applications!

[...]

To stay one-step ahead of the market demand, Google and Dashlane are helping create a seamless, universally-acceptable Android app authentication solution to increase your online security.

[...]

This project is the first big step towards making security simple and accessible for every user, on every device. In the future, we see this open API going beyond just Android devices, and becoming universally-implemented by apps and password managers across every platform and operating system. Ultimately, we look forward to expanding this collaborative project, so that it will benefit the entire security ecosystem as a whole.
​

We’ll have much more information for users and App Developers coming soon.​

Thanks for the share

A new "future" target ?

This sounds extremely risky, I'm gonna watch this as it develops closely.
There is potential there but improperly implemented this will spell disaster.
Agreed DardiM , target of mass proportion

Since it deals on security, the process should take more seriously.

Google is highly known to gain information due to its environment concept that can affect privacy issues.
