I use a password manager personally, but my work uses a different application. Both common names in this space.

Android lets me set one password filler, but I don’t see how to go about having two active, if that’s even possible.

Ideally, I’d like to keep the application/web credentials for work in the work password manager, and everything else in my personal one, and get recommendations/autofill from only the one with a matching app ID or URL saved.

Any tips?

I have both installed, but opening the work password manager every time I need it is annoying.

    I prefer to carry only one phone, but my company pays half of my bill and has no control over, or applications installed on, my phone. I don’t think I’d generally recommend using a personal phone for work, but it works for me.

    Yeah, my password manager doesn’t autofill reliably either, and sometimes doesn’t recognize that it already has a credential saved and so tries to save another one. It’s pretty annoying, but I don’t trust Google’s password manager.

    Googling indicates that’s not possible.

    My searching led me to the same conclusion, but I was hoping someone had a good idea.

      I mean… I would warn against doing so… Buuuuut. In theory you could look for a password manager that runs them both in the background and provides their output to you. But that’s a security hazard. Let’s have a Google.

      Bonus: there is containerization: Some android work profile thingmabob. Googling “password manager two android facade that runs multiple work and personal” lead me there.

      Google AI shorthand; To run multiple work and personal accounts on Android with isolated separation, use 1Password or Enpass as they support multiple independent vaults and accounts within a single app facade.Managing Work and Personal ProfilesMultiple Vaults/Accounts: Set up distinct vaults inside a single master application so that professional and private entries never mix.Android Work Profile Integration: Android isolates work apps inside a corporate container. You can install your chosen password manager inside your system work profile or link work-managed browsers to handle credential autofill safely across both environments.Biometric Lock: Secure the master application facade with fingerprint unlock, requiring authentication before switching context between professional and personal secrets.If you can share which specific password manager you currently prefer or if your work profile is managed by an IT administrator (EMM/MDM), I can provide the exact steps to configure autofill for your setup.
