How to specify login credentials for Google Play reviewer

Issue

I'm submitting an app to Google Play that requires a user account. I'm assuming the reviewer will need credentials in order to review the app, but I'm not seeing a place to specify those in Google Play Console and I'm not able to find any documentation around it. I've attached a screenshot of the equivalent interface in App Store Connect. How does this work in Google Play? Do we wait for the reviewer to ask for it, or are we supposed to include it somehow in the Android App Bundle?

Solution

I figured this out after I had already drafted the question. I figured I would go ahead and submit with an answer in case it helps anyone else.

In Google Play Console, you can provide credentials by going to Store presence > App content. Then go through the "Target audience and content" guide. You can specify your test credentials on step 2. However, here's the part that tripped me up: in order to get to step 2, you must indicate that your app targets children under 13 (otherwise, it will skip step 2). I'm not sure if this is a bug or part of Google's policy, but it seemed odd to me. I'm publishing a business tool that is targeted to professional adults, not children, but adding children to my targeting was the only way to provide the credentials the reviewer will need.
