Description

To make it easier to manage the user's account password we could integrate Google's Smart Lock for Passwords

> By integrating Smart Lock for Passwords into your Android app, you can automatically sign users in to your app using the credentials they have saved. Users can save both username-password credentials and federated identity provider credentials.

Research direction

Start with the linked Google Smart Lock for Passwords documentation and inspect the app's existing account sign-in and password-management flow. Done means documenting whether the integration is feasible, what app entry points it would affect, and any required implementation work.
