Android 14 has a new system app called Credential Manager and Play Store is finally works on fully integrating the Material You dynamic colors

Android 14 has a new system app called “Credential Manager”, enabling platform support for passkeys within 3rd-party password managers. In DP1, CredMan displays test data, but Dashlane shared a demo of what it’ll look it to create and input a passkey.

Attached are some screenshots showing off Credential Manager (with test data) in Android 14 DP1. It’s clearly still a WIP. You’ll be able to have up to 5 autofill/password manager services enabled simultaneously.

A backward-compatible version of Credential Manager is available through a Jetpack library. Devices supporting the framework version in Android 14 will declare ‘android.software.credentials‘.

Play Store is finally working on fully integrating the Material You dynamic colors.

Until now, the only elements that followed dynamic colors were the navigation bar and the search bar on the home page. All other places used the standard green accent.

However, in version 34.7.10-21, we found the beginning of work to extend dynamic colors to all components. The new MaterialNextBaselineTheming__enable_baseline_theming_everywhere server flag is responsible for the activation.

As we said, the work has just begun, because for now the accent is fixed only on the blue color.
