Thinking of switching to Apple's new Passwords app? It merges iCloud Keychain but importing existing passwords currently needs a Mac & a .csv. Heads up: it only handles logins for now & imports can be glitchy. Keep your old manager close. #ApplePasswords #iOS18 #macOS

I’ve Changed My Mind About Apple’s New Password App - Podfeet Podcasts

With the advent of macOS Sequoia and iOS 18, Apple upgraded its method of saving user passwords from the arcane Keychain Access to a fledgling full-fledged password manager. Because Apple likes to name its products so they’re impossible to search online, the app is called Passwords. I am a huge proponent of password managers, with […]

@rmondello I’ve finished the migration.
In the end I was sitting with @bbedit (as always ready to help) and its pattern playground (because I never remember the 😖RegEx syntax) fixing stupid csv files. Finally got down to 5 passwords that I had to put in manually.
There needs to be a better way to switch password manager. No normal person would be willing to do this. (But they have them all in chrome anyway 🤷🏻‍♂️)

Also, why can't third party password managers autofill verification codes yet? Having to switch apps to copy/paste codes _almost_ defeats the purpose of autofill entirely.

Is that something Apple still reserves for themselves? Or is there some new iOS 18 entitlement that others haven't adopted yet?

Now, if only I could keep Apple’s passwords app enabled for autofill without it bugging me to save every password I submit that was autofilled by a different app …

So far, one of the most underrated (aka. no one has mentioned it from what I can see), but randomly useful is that you can now allow password autofills from up to 3 different apps at once.

And the best part, Apple's own Passwords app doesn't have to be one of them, so no more special privilege 🎉

Please, tell me there is an #ApplePasswords extension that works on #Linux.

Hope that the new Apple Passwords app will get an official extension for Firefox Desktop.

I highly doubt, but one can dream

Until then, I'll keep using Bitwarden

Given rumours that Apple will release a Passwords app this year, I decided to try exporting my vault from #1Password to test the current state of #ApplePasswords. Here’s a few things I’ve discovered that will make it hard for me to move:

- Logins are required to have a website URL and username, so over 100 of my logins didn’t import that I now have to manually fix

- No support for other credential types like Wi-Fi, Identities, Passports, License Keys etc.

- No secure attachments
