User Settings

This section describes User-side Settings for Credentials Management System.

If the user has disabled Password Storing at System wide, or disabled per apps, the storing operations always failed with no user interaction.

If the user has disabled Auto Sign-in at System wide, the Silent Read operation always failed, and other read operation always asking user to read a password entry.

IMPORTANT:

In Android, per Apps decline settings are saved with All Google Accounts that logged in your device. The Store Permission Dialogs can be displayed, ONLY if all Google Accounts settings has not decline that app. If user cannot see any dialogs and cannot store credentials, check ALL Google Accounts Autofill Settings, and allow your app to store credentials at ALL Google Accounts.
