Learn how to activate Google Password Manager on your Android device to securely store and use passkeys with Kuda Business.
Before you can create or use passkeys on your Android device, you need a password manager enabled and set as your autofill service. Passkeys are offered through the same credential flow Android uses for saved passwords—if the manager that holds your passkey is not the one offering credentials at login, Kuda Business may not see your passkey.
We recommend Google Password Manager for Kuda Business on Android. Kuda does not force a specific provider, but Google is the most reliable option for storing and syncing passkeys across devices.
This guide applies to all Android devices, including Samsung, Google Pixel, Xiaomi, Infinix, Vivo, Tecno, OnePlus, and other manufacturers running Android 9 or later.
Why we recommend Google Password Manager
Google Password Manager is our recommended option for passkeys on Android because it:
Securely stores your passkeys
Syncs passkeys across Android and Chrome devices on the same Google Account
Surfaces passkeys during sign-in through Android's autofill framework
For Kuda Business: we recommend selecting Google as your autofill provider. Other password managers can work if they store and offer your passkey, but Samsung Pass or another default manager often does not surface a passkey saved in Google.
Steps to enable Google Password Manager
1. Enable Google Password Manager
Open Settings
Tap Google (Samsung: Google & Accounts > Google)
Select Manage your Google Account
Open the Security tab
Scroll to Password Manager and ensure it is enabled
Or: Google > All services > Password Manager
2. Enable autofill for passkeys
Pick the path that matches your phone:
Path | Steps |
Standard Android | Settings > System > Languages & input > Autofill service — select Google (recommended) |
Samsung | Settings > General management > Passwords, passkeys and autofill — select Google if using Google Password Manager |
Shortcut | Settings > Google > Autofill > Autofill with Google — turn ON |
Alternate menu | Settings > Passwords, passkeys & accounts — confirm Google handles passwords and passkeys |
Transsion (Tecno, Infinix, etc.): if menus differ on HiOS or XOS, open Settings and search for autofill, passwords, or password manager.
3. Chrome (for Kuda Business web)
Open Chrome > Settings > Autofill services
Confirm Google is active for web sign-in
4. Samsung Internet (optional, web only)
If you use Samsung Internet: Menu > Settings > Personal browsing data > Autofill forms. This is separate from device-wide passkey storage—configure both if you sign in on the web.
Verifying it works
Settings > Google > Security > Password Manager — passkeys can be stored here
Sign in to Kuda Business mobile or web with your passkey
In Chrome: Settings > Password Manager — confirm sync
Locating your passkeys
Settings > Google > Manage your Google Account > Security > Password Manager
Or search Passkeys in the Settings search bar
Troubleshooting
Signed into your Google Account
Internet available (sync needs connectivity)
Android OS and Kuda Business app updated
Restart if toggles will not stay on
Samsung: we recommend Google as autofill provider when using Google Password Manager; if you use Samsung Pass, ensure your Kuda passkey is stored there
Settings > Google > Backup — sync enabled
Toggle Autofill with Google off and on if passkeys do not appear
If passkeys still do not surface, see Why Passkeys Depend on Autofill Settings and Troubleshooting Passkey Issues.
Recovering passkeys on a new device
Sign in with the same Google Account used to create the passkey
Enable Autofill with Google on the new device
Allow time for sync, or use QR cross-device sign-in from your old phone
If the old device is unavailable, contact Kuda Business support for passkey reset after verification
