Android 15 - Cannot set default password app
We use Microsoft Intune to manage devices. For the devices which have upgraded to Android 15, the end users can no longer select Microsoft Authenticator as their default application for auto filling passwords. I cannot find any settings in Intune to allow it. All devices are fully managed corporate owned devices. The devices are all Google Pixel 8 or 8a devices.
Is this a bug in 15 or am I missing something?
Update - This started working today FOR MICROSOFT AUTHENTICATOR ONLY. Still no go for Dashlane or any other service. Since we use Authenticator, this was very good new for us.
This still does not work with Google's own MDM and Google's own password manager.
are there any updates? having the same issue here
This still only works with Microsoft Authenticator for me. Neither Dashlane nor Google's own Password Manager work. Given the fact that the Beta for Android 16 is out, I am wondering if they are going to just fix it in 16.
If it works for MS Authenticator, it's on the app level, I suppose. Maybe they are fixing it in Google Play Services or in Google app?

Thanks again for continuing to investigate this. I've been exploring this too and would recommend to contact your specific EMM/MDM, as this appears to be working slightly differently from one partner to another.
I know this isn't the most useful answer here, and I will continue to follow-up on this. Please do continue to discuss what you are experiencing, I will continue to feed it back to our team.
Thanks so much,
Lizzie
This is a particularly useless response, as my MDM provider is Google Workspace. A Google Product Provided by Google. Google Workspace support already has a ticket open that says it is an Android issue, which is another Google product.
We use Google Workspace and Google Pixel phones. I AM the owner/admin of our Google Workspace. Is there a setting we need to change in the Admin Console? This broke when I simply upgraded our phones to Android 15.
Google Workspace would need to implement the APIs released for 15 as it's a default-disable. Lizzie could probe for answers internally but if you have an active support agreement with them you'll encourage a better response by reaching out as it increases demand generation for their product folks.
