Google
is currently working with Dashlane and password manager firms on an
open API named 'Open YOLO'. YOLO here stands for You Only Login Once,
and the project is aimed at simplifying the use of password managers
with Android apps.
"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 favourite password
manager, and effortlessly and securely log you into those applications!"
Dashlane said in a blog.
The
idea behind the project is fairly simple; it aims to help Android users
benefit from hassle-free entry of passwords. They will just have to link
their favourite password manager to their Android device, with apps
then pulling the password details from there natively, and
automatically.
"Dashlane is spearheading the collaboration with
other top password management companies, who will contribute their
unique security and software development expertise to improve the design
and implementation of this open API," the company said in its blog
post.
Even though the project is only in works for Android as of now, it might also make its way
to other platforms, Dashlane said in its post.
Of course,
there is always the worry that your password manager itself may get
hacked,
or that your Android device gets into the wrong hands. Presumably, Open
YOLO contributors are working on preventing such scenarios from leaking
user data.
