I've been on Apple Passwords for a couple years now. If you are only on Apple's platforms, it's the right solution.
Ricardo Tavares@jsnell Think I'm on every platform š¤ That's a big reason to pay for a password manager, having a service that goes through all the hassle of making it work well wherever.

Ali Shah@jsnell honestly, even if you're apple + windows it works quite well. The extensions and companion Windows app have worked flawlessly for me.
If you're android or linux you'd definitely need a different solution though like Bitwarden.

Daniel Dorronsoro@jsnell is this still the case if you have to use chrome a lot and need to share with family? (All on Apple devices)
@Dorronsoro @jsnell Thereās pretty good (imo) password sharing both within and outside of iCloud families. Thereās also extensions for Firefox and chromium
@Dorronsoro it's less good on chrome but still usable
Matt Banks@jsnell @simonbs Will be hoping that Passwords expands to add custom fields and non password type things like API credentials (custom fields could be the solve for that). I have a lot of those and secure notes in 1password that make migrating not as straight forward. Maybe we can convince @rmondello to get that added that in iOS / macOS 27 š
@mattbanks Notes has secure notes. That's where those go.
@jsnell @mattbanks Uplock is a really great app alternative for those sorts of things but I'm a fan of Apple Notes as well
@jsnell Those are good for secure notes, I agree, but things like security questions you may need to copy/paste or randomly generate, server credentials, etc. are something I use a lot.
@mattbanks sure, but you also mentioned secure notes. that's not an issue
@jsnell Totally fair
Ville Turpeinen@jsnell @mattbanks
Notes is not very good at saving structured data. 1Password is pretty great for creating arbitrary fields, so you can neatly store complex entries. Other great 1Password feature is SSH integration.

Graham Ballantyne@marcintosh @mattbanks @jsnell @simonbs @rmondello and 2FA emergency codes (yes, secure notes exist, but I should be able to keep those in a secure comment alongside the login details).
@mattbanks @jsnell @simonbs @rmondello it also needs to allow for multiple arbitrary login fields other than just "username" and "passwords". My health insurance provider wants those two plus the plan number.

Matt Pfeffer@jsnell Iāve been on Apple Passwords for a few years too - works great with family groups, etc. One thing I wish theyād add is a more robust password generator (pass phrases, etc) instead of just āStong or Strong without special charactersā
@jsnell Same. I tried 1Password years ago, but it just didn't work for me.
Rachel Greenham@jsnell @simonbs no Linux support, non-starter. Thread seems to be gathering a catalog of other lacking features I note. 1Password remains worth it for now.
Interestingly got two other service price increases today as well. Hetzner and Three (uk mobile network). Probably not coincidence. Seems like theyāre all passing on their ram/storage cost increases.
@StrangeNoises what part of "if you are only on apple platforms" did you not understand
Carlos@cmaciasjimenez @simonbs I would argue that most of what 1Password offers, Apple offers, but it's not all in passwords. Secure notes is in Notes, for example.
@jsnell @simonbs Could be. To me that makes it way more inconvenient because we are talking about mixing my regular notes with other āsecure thingsā. I would love for Passwords to have more types of items. I basically want Apple to sherlock 1Password more. I understand that they arenāt going to add ssh keys etc but at least I would want them to properly support website passwords, wifi passwords, bank accounts and credit cards. With support for attached files.
One can only hope
@cmaciasjimenez I gotta be honest, Passwords does not need secure notes just because 1Password put them there. It doesn't make sense. Secure notes belong in Notes.
I don't disagree about doing a better job with some other categories though.

@jsnell @simonbs given global developments over the past year and Appleās apparent willingness to kowtow Iām not loving the idea of being dependent on them not terminating my iCloud account for all my passwords and passkeys. Iād say itās the right solution for Americans on Appleās platforms. People outside the US should at the very least be doing regular backups of their iCloud keychain which I donāt think thereās a really userfriendly method for as of now?
Reinier Ladan@jsnell @reinier @simonbs I donāt think theyād remotely lock/disable my devices based on whatever the US govt deems terrorism this week but locking me out of my Apple ID (and thus iCloud - of which passwords is probably the most impactful part) for a ToS violation seems like a reasonable concern?
