credential_manager 1.0.0

Credential Manager plugin,Help one-tap Login functionality and store credentials in Google service account of user.

Credential Manager

Credential Manager is a Jetpack API that supports multiple sign-in methods, such as username and password, passkeys, and federated sign-in solutions (such as Sign-in with Google) in a single API, thus simplifying the integration for developers.

Furthermore, for users, Credential Manager unifies the sign-in interface across authentication methods, making it clearer and easier for users to sign into apps, regardless of the method they choose

Note this package is only supported for android

Getting Started

• Add the dependency to your pubspec.yaml file

  dependencies:
     credential_manager: <latest_version>
  

  --------------------------------------------OR------------------------------------------------

  flutter pub get credential_manager
  

Setup android

• Add proguard rules if proguard-rules.pro is not exist in android/app then create new file with same name

 -if class androidx.credentials.CredentialManager
-keep class androidx.credentials.playservices.** {
  *;
}

• Update android\app\build.gradle

buildTypes {
        release {
            //add these lines 
            minifyEnabled true
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android-optimize.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }

Setup Google Sign In (optional)

Passkey Integration(optional)

Passkey step by step procedure.

Usage in flutter

• import the package

  import 'package:credential_manager/credential_manager dart';
  

• Create object for CredentialManager()

  CredentialManager credentialManager = CredentialManager();
  

• Check if target platform is supported or not

if(credentialManager.isSupportedPlatform){
    // if supported
}

• Initialize credential manager

if(credentialManager.isSupportedPlatform){
    // if supported
    await credentialManager.init(preferImmediatelyAvailableCredentials: true
    //optional perameter for integrate google signing
        googleClientId: googleClientId 
    );

}

Note: If the call to Credential Manager was triggered by an explicit user action, credential will be available immediately after saving if true(by default) or user will not able to get credential as soon as possible(May throw error if fetched just after saving credentials)

If you want to encrypted credential manager encrypted_credential_manager

• Save credentials in credential manager

await credentialManager.savePasswordCredentials(
          PasswordCredential(username: username, password: password));

• Save Google credentials in credential manager

final GoogleIdTokenCredential? gCredential= await credentialManager.saveGoogleCredential();

Note: It is not necessary to be username and password,you can send any string you want to store but you will get credentials as PasswordCredential which has username and password properties.

• Get the saved credentials

 Credentials credential =await credentialManager.getPasswordCredentials();

Encrypt Your credentials

To ensure the security of credentials, we will encrypt the password field using the encrypt library and store the encrypted information in a credential manager. This approach reduces the risk of exposing sensitive information, such as passwords.

To encrypt value and decrypt the encrypted data, you need 128 bit-key of secret_key and 128 bit-key of iv_key.

you need to provide a 16 character string as a key.

  final secretKey = "<Secret-key>"; // Use a secure key here for example "1234567812345678"
  final ivKey = "<16-bit-iv-key>" //for e.g: "xfpkDQJXIfb3mcnb"; 

• Save encrypted credentials

await credentialManager.saveEncryptedCredentials(
        credential: PasswordCredential(username: username, password: password),
        secretKey: secretKey,
        ivKey: ivKey
      );

• Get encrypted credentials and decrypted the sensitive data

 Credentials credential = await credentialManager
          .getEncryptedCredentials(secretKey: secretKey, ivKey: ivKey);
