Stop Credentials Choose Dialog Android

535 views Asked by At

I am trying to use google smartlock on my android app. I saved two credentials to the smartlock (passwords.google.com) and on my app, I get a dialog asking me to choose one of the two credentials. The problem is even after I set "Offer To Save Password" and "Auto Sign-In" to off, I keep getting the dialog to choose credentials. I need a way to disable the dialog. Is there some other setting that I need to do else where?

I'm the PM for the team that designed and build this functionality.

There's no way to disable the dialog from settings ("Offer To Save Password" and "Auto Sign-In" settings only control those features, per se). The rationale for this was that if a user has credentials stored, then Smart Lock will offer them when the user might need them (otherwise user probably best off to delete the credentials if they are not useful).

As a developer, though, you can choose when to resolve the credential picker Intent, and thus control when the UI appears in your app.
