Password question on Android - General Topics

Greetings,
This is likely not unique to my OnePlus 6, but rather android in general..
I am trying to set third party email account. I downloaded the app for that email account, NOT going through gmail app. I would like my phone to remeber password for that account,, so that I do not have to log in every time. However, I DO NOT want the passwords to be stored anywhere on the Google or their servers, and NOT in Chrome. Just locally on my device, preferably so that Google does not have any way to access it there. Is there such a solution?
Thanks very much

New GMail Address

Hello everybody,
I am trying to figure out how to create a new GMail address to link all my stuff to, and I am having issues. My current google account is [email protected], and I do not want to use that address anymore as it seems childish to me. The problem is, I have purchased many apps using this google account, and I do not want to pay for all of these apps again. Basically, I just want a new address that I can send and receive emails from without losing apps. I don't really care what the login is. Can anybody help?
Well you can log into your phone with that account, and use the 2nd in gmail because that has the multiple accounts option.
Okay, that is good, I didn't think of that. I'll try it out. Thanks

ill give Thanks to anyone who can help
You can't change the name of an existing account. What you can do is create a new account and link them together. Here's a link for more detailed instructions.

is there any way to transfer my paid apps from one email address to another?
Unfortunately, none that I'm aware of, with that accounts system however you can keep buying things from your old address while all emails are conducted through the linked one.

install mutliple email applications

Hi,
Is there any issue about installing different email applications, so that each handle separately the various email accounts ?
To be more specific, I'd like to install a specific email application to handle a Exchange email account -application like Libre Email, which bypasses the pin lock security enforcement . While I would keep standard email application from android ICS to handle my other email accounts. And of course, target is to avoid that my Infinity gets "pin locked" due to the Exchange account.. Or is there a risk that the standard ICS email client detects another email app has an exchange account and would thus enforce the pin lock ?
NB: if any one knows an app which would restrict the pin lock to only when opening the Exchange email account, without forcing me to enter a pin every time I want to access my tablet, I'd be glad..

You can lock specific applications with Asus app that comes preinstalled with Infinity tablet..i don't know what the name of the app is as i don't have a tablet with me right now, but it is there. App locker or something. Does pretty much what you would like...
But if I lock the usual email app, will I be able to still use it ? I mean that my plan would be to used a specific email app for my exchange account but still use the standard email app for my usual accounts.
I think that is true.
Every app has its own settings, don't see a problem here.
I think you can safely use E-mail app that comes with android for one type of account and TouchDown for exchange account..
At least i think that's a way it works. Both have different settings and accounts of course.
Thanks for the clarification.
I found this topics http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117452 in the samsung threads. Could the patch work on my TF700T (9.4.5.22) ? Or are email.apk different on the various devices ?
Yeah you can. That is a simple android feature they have had since day one.

[Q] How to exclude device from Google account without having it?

Hello,
I recently borrowed tablet that I needed to create app for some company, that was the chief's son tablet. I did the job, gived it back and was sure that i logged out from my google account. But right now on my google account in "my apps" I see thousand of free apps and I am scared that this kid will start buying paid games on my credit card. I contacted chief via e-mail, but till now there is no answer. Cannot contact him personally because right now I am not in the city.
So is there any way to exclude one of devices from my google account via web browser on my computer?
Can't you just change your Google password instead?
Well, I didn't thought about this, actually I can do it if there is no other way. I do not know how complicated it will be, because I have this two-step verification login etc.
I don't believe there is any other way of simply deleting a device from your Google account.
