Google Smartlock/Googleyolo did not return saved password

Question

According to the documentation (https://developers.google.com/identity/one-tap/web/retrieve-credentials), we can get our saved password, just like when we use Credential Management API on Chrome.

I'm already currently logged in to Google in my browser. I have tried to use the googleyolo api, using .retrieve() function as documented:

const retrievePromise = googleyolo.retrieve({
  supportedAuthMethods: [
    "https://accounts.google.com",
    "googleyolo://id-and-password"
  ],
  supportedIdTokenProviders: [
    {
      uri: "https://accounts.google.com",
      clientId: "*********-**********.apps.googleusercontent.com"
    }
  ]
}).then(res => console.log(res));

and it only return the idToken, no password returned.

But weirdly, when I tried using Credential Management API on Chrome my saved credentials popped up.

The question is, 1. What went wrong? 2. Where did googleyolo get its list of credentials? Because I checked at my https://passwords.google.com, and my credentials exists 3. What should I do/troubleshoot to get my password credentials?

Answer 1

Sorry for the confusion, passwords are only available in browsers that support the Credential Management API (which the library uses to retrieve the passwords). Will update the documentation to clarify that.
