To ensure the continued security and usability of your app, [migrate\n| to Credential Manager](https://developer.android.com/training/sign-in/credential-manager/) today. Credential Manager supports passkey, password, and federated identity authentication (such as Sign-in with Google), stronger security, and a more consistent user experience. For Wear developers: Credential Manager will be supported in Wear OS 5.1 and later on selected watches. Developers actively supporting Wear OS 3, 4 and 5.0 devices with Sign in with Google should continue using Google Sign-in for Android for your Wear applications. Sign in with Google support will be available on Credential Manager APIs for these versions of WearOS at a later date.\n\nAfter you have signed in a user with Google, if you [configured Google Sign-In](/identity/sign-in/android/legacy-sign-in#configure_google_sign-in_and_the_googlesigninclient_object),\nwith the `DEFAULT_SIGN_IN` parameter or the `requestProfile` method, you can\naccess the user's basic profile information.
