+1 for Bitwarden. Has plenty of free features and a subscription is cheap.
Same here. Bite arden is great, better than Dashlane and it’s FOSS.
Is there a way to port passwords from Apple Passwords to Bitwarden? I’d love to migrate but can’t seem to figure out how.
Yes, I believe you can export passwords from Safari. It’s a little bit Janky, but doable. I think you have to go to Safari’s version of the keychain manager and there’s a button somewhere that lets you create an Excel sheet.
FWIW you can use a Yubikey with Bitwarden as another layer of security if you’re using it to store your 2FA/ recovery codes too.
Apple Keychain
My wife uses it manually just opens it on her phone and types everything in.
That works for her. I don’t get it whatever
backed up with bitwarden. me likey both
Same, but I also use chrome a lot so I use chrome and apple.
I’m always curious what the benefit of using a 3rd party password manager is over these tools that work just fine.
They’re bringing Apple’s password manager to 3rd party apps – i.e., Chrome – in the new macOS version.

Well the immediate disadvantage you are facing is that you have passwords stored in two places.
Sure, but on iOS and MacOS Safari, at least, you can specify which store to choose your password from.
So there’s only one extra step to fill in a password.
The main benefit is being able to access passwords without using a web browser.
For example, say you need to tell someone your credit card over the phone. With Safari you need to go into Settings > Auto Fill > Edit > unlock, and finally you need to click on the card number to view it. That’s a horrible process.
With 1Password I can hit a global hotkey, you might use control-space for example, type ‘card’ and there it is. 1Password even has hotkeys to quickly copy the name/number/expiry/security code with a single key press (for each one).
Another big advantage is most password managers have OTP support. Safari and Chrome do not.
@abhibeckert @richard_wagner Apple keychain passwords can be accessed with using a web browser - in the Settings app on iOS, and in Keychain Access on macOS.

Bitwarden. 100%
I use Bitwarden.
1password. I’m keeping a close eye on Apple’s own keychain stuff. It sure seems like they’re moving toward a password manager app of sorts. Once that happens, then I’ll probably jump ship from 1password as it’s getting expensive, and I don’t love 1password 8.
Couldn’t agree more with this. 1Password 8 is so bad and frustrating while apples product is looking more and more enticing. Especially with shared passwords.
I’ve not found that to be the case. It’s been bullet proof for me. I plan on sticking with it.
What problems are you having? Been pretty flawless for me.
Slowness (although I have a pre-M series MacBook Pro), the search functionality and the ability to view my different vaults on the side were both tweaked in a way that I feel it requires significantly more time and effort to get to what I need.
Fair enough. I’m in PC and only using two vaults.

Used Bitwarden for years across various devices. It’s reliable and just works for me.
Raivo looks nice, I’ve been using authy for a long time. To sync all my authenticators since I used to swap phones often.
Shame its ios only.
Bitwarden is the best bang for buck.
@hadek @Nothingwise 2FAS is Open Source and on Android
KeepassXC (Strongbox on iOS) + Syncthing to keep database in sync across all devices.
KeepassXC on desktop and KeePassium on iOS. No vendor/cloud lock in and can pick how you sync the database.
1Password for my personal stuff, but Bitwarden st work. 1Password is a far nice experience imo, even on version 8.
But as someone else said: holding out for Apple to do standalone key chain and would likely switch then.
Self hosted Bitwarden
Same. I left 1Password 6 for bitwarden-rs, which is now called Vaultwarden and I couldn’t be happier with the setup. If you go this route, please do not forget to have a proper backup strategy in place.
Keychain and Bitwarden
I currently use Strongbox on macOS and iOS. While it is definitely a product tailored to more advanced users, it is still easy to use IMO, and there’s currently no better option for those who want a native Mac app built exclusively for the Mac. There’s no proprietary cloud storage like popular commercial password managers (you can use iCloud, OneDrive, Dropbox, WebDAV, transfer over your local network, etc.), and it uses KeePass, so there is no lock in either. Additionally, if you suffer from subscription fatigue, there’s an option to purchase a lifetime license. I love it, and would recommend the product to those who are on Apple platforms. It doesn’t have all of the features of 1Password just yet, but the developer is very responsive, and it is getting better all of the time.
I switched over from 1Password, as I was not very impressed with the direction they were heading. 1Password 7 is better in every way compared to 1Password 8, IMO. Also, moving from AppKit to Electron for their Mac app was simply not acceptable to me either, and there was no way I was ever going to pay an annual subscription for the “pleasure” of using it. I only ever paid up because of their high quality apps, and when that was no longer the focus, I was out.

1Password since like 1Password 3 days; early adopters family plan right now. I’m not a huge fan of the new 1Password extension on iOS, but on the Mac front, it’s treating me well. I don’t think I’ll jump to Apple native keychain until feature parity is reached.
BitWarden and Apple’s keychain. However, passkeys are the future. Once you’ve used one you’ll understand how much worse passwords are.
What websites are using passkeys? I understand MacOS supports them, but I have yet to see an option to use them.
