Forget those "Open on Phone" prompts and cumbersome two-factor authentication codes. Now, users can seamlessly log in using only their Wear OS watch, eliminating the need for a nearby phone. This simplified flow enhances the user experience and streamlines the authentication process with the cutting-edge security of passkeys. You can also reuse your existing Credential Manager code from your mobile app on Wear OS and across various form factors. This means less development time and more consistency across your applications. Ready to simplify authentication on Wear OS? Learn more about Credential Manager and how to implement it in your apps.
