Android adds secure password manager migration for logins and passkeys

🐿️ The Squirrel's Take
This removes the biggest practical barrier to switching password managers—users can finally take their passkeys with them instead of being locked into a single app.
💡 Why it matters
It lowers switching costs for Android users and pushes the password manager ecosystem toward real interoperability rather than customer capture.

Google is rolling out a new Android feature that securely transfers saved logins and passkeys between password managers. The migration process is designed to let users switch services without manually exporting or re-entering credentials.
