Remarks
Sets or forgets a saved password. This modifies the local copy of the password used to automatically authenticate the user; it does not change the user's account password on the server. Intended for use by the authenticator, not directly by applications.
Calling this method does not update the last authenticated timestamp, referred by #KEY_LAST_AUTHENTICATED_TIME
. To update it, call #notifyAccountAuthenticated(Account)
after getting success.
It is safe to call this method from the main thread.
This method requires the caller to have a signature match with the authenticator that manages the specified account.
<b>NOTE:</b> If targeting your app to work on API level 22 and before, AUTHENTICATE_ACCOUNTS permission and same UID as account's authenticator is needed for those platforms. See docs for this function in API level 22.
