“Collectively, we are committed to increasing user security and believe that the best way to do this is to champion open source security projects–which Dashlane has done earlier this year by becoming the first password manager to adopt the FIDO Alliance’s Universal Second Factor (U2F) authentication standard.
PASSWORD MANAGER PRO API ANDROID
NEW YORK – Dashlane, the leader in online identity and password management, and Google announce the upcoming launch of a new, open-source API project to enhance user security. The collaboration between Dashlane and Google, along with other leading password managers, will develop OpenYOLO (You Only Login Once), an open API that will enable App Developers to access passwords stored in password managers to easily and securely log users into their Android applications.“This is an important initiative for our industry and for the state of user security,” said Emmanuel Schalit, CEO of Dashlane. Google will likely be releasing more information on this API in the near future and we should begin seeing it on password managers soon as well.ĭashlane and Google Establish New Open-Source API Project for Better Login Security, to Include Participation with Leading Password Managers Once you sign in to whatever password manager is on your device (which uses Open YOLO), you’ll be automatically signed in to the apps on your device without having to input your password multiple times. Open YOLO works more or less the same way that Google’s own Smart Lock does.
Dashlane’s own app will be the first to take advantage of it, but other password management apps are also involved with the project or interested in working with it. This new API will of course be open source which will allow new password management apps (and current options) to use the standard. To make keeping track of passwords easier, Google has worked with Dashlane to create a new password management API called “Open YOLO” - which stands for “You Only Login Once.” We all have a million passwords to keep track of, so tools that can help us keep them secure and also make them easier to use are always great.
