Google is working on a new feature for its built-in Android password manager that would allow users to delete all of their saved data in one go. This option, found in the Google Play Services code, would represent a significant step forward in terms of control over personal data.
Are you tired of juggling your passwords? Google has good news for you! The tech giant is preparing a revolutionary feature for its password manager: the ability to erase everything in one go!
Currently, users who want to migrate to a password manager other than Google's must manually delete each entry one by one, or completely clear Chrome history, which results in the loss of other important data. Fortunately, the new "Delete all data" feature would offer a more targeted solution, allowing you to erase only the information stored in the password manager.

Enhanced security and better data management
This feature, although still in development, was manually activated by Android Authority in the beta version 25.09.30 of Google Play Services. It would be accessible from the application settings, just below the password import option.
No more headaches of manually deleting each password or the anxiety of having to erase all your Chrome history. A real relief for those who want to change password managers without the hassle.
The tool would display a clear warning before deletion, specifying the number of passwords and passkeys that will be erased. It is important to note that this action would not affect accounts created on sites or applications, but only locally stored login information.
This new feature is part of a broader trend of strengthening security and control over personal data. It would offer users greater flexibility in managing their login information, especially when switching to another password manager. Although the official launch date of this feature remains unknown, its active development suggests a release in the coming weeks.
