I've been on Apple Passwords for a couple years now. If you are only on Apple's platforms, it's the right solution.

@jsnell @simonbs given global developments over the past year and Apple’s apparent willingness to kowtow I’m not loving the idea of being dependent on them not terminating my iCloud account for all my passwords and passkeys. I’d say it’s the right solution for Americans on Apple’s platforms. People outside the US should at the very least be doing regular backups of their iCloud keychain which I don’t think there’s a really userfriendly method for as of now?

Because of this whole "the US can't be trusted, and by extension Apple can't be trusted" situation, I'm now actively pursuing using a Linux laptop for my day-to-day work (and life). I'm saying this as an Apple user _for everything_ since 1996.

@reinier @marlies @simonbs I was going to say, if you are so concerned about Apple that you won't use iCloud for passwords, it's probably worth thinking bigger.

@jsnell @reinier @simonbs I don’t think they’d 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?

@marlies @reinier @simonbs we all have to define reasonable ourselves. I am dubious but if you are concerned I'd at least find a password manager that is not in the U.S. or doesn't rely on one sync service

@jsnell @reinier @simonbs totally agree
