Did you know that you can export your saved data (including passkeys!) from Apple Passwords to another app on your iPhone or iPad? Top level of the app, ... menu, “Export Data to Another App”.

And you can export your saved data (including passkeys) from 1Password to another app on your iPhone or iPad, too! Top level of the app, user avatar, Settings, Advanced, Start Export.

Folks from 1Password, Dashlane, Bitwarden, NordPass, Apple, and Google collaborated on a data interoperability standard to make this possible. Building on top of that, iOS has first-class support for migrating that standardized data between apps.

Not all apps will support all of the data that’s possible to be transferred, but this really might help you switch from one app to another. There’s no need for a desktop computer and a CSV file, and those CSV files never supported migrating passkeys. The OS support for this exists on Mac, but third-party apps have been slower to adopt it.

Everything I’ve said here is public information and available to use on your i{Phone,Pad}OS 26 devices today.

@rmondello That’s awesome. Wish I would have known a month ago before I did the CSV dance on my Mac. Will try it out when I switch my parents later this year. 👍

@rmondello Ooohhh, this finally is getting rolled out? Is this the new CXF/CXP formats?

@rmondello Good to know!

Passkey adoption question for you:
I just upgraded a Mac from Sonoma to Sequoia and the first screen required a AppleID login - there was no way to get to 1Password from that screen. Does that change if I used a passkey? In my non-Passkey world I brought up 1PW on another device and typed my password - what would happen with passkeys?

@dxzdb @rmondello If you’re using Apple Password then do not store your Apple password on it. You need to have that one password in life to get to the others. You would need to use it to get to it anyway 🤭

You can generally skip the AppleID login during setup, and enter it in Settings after the onboarding/first boot stuff has completed, so you can get to other apps. Doesn’t apply if restoring from iCloud backup.

@rmondello I moved away from Apple Passwords when Timmy was kissing the feet of Despot TACO. I am minimising all business with US companies, even moved to Apple Music to Deezer. It’s good that moving passwords is easy to do. Proton offer mail as well as passwords so is another good option for those looking to do the same.
