On iOS Keychain works relatively well for Safari, but needs to be explicitely supported for native apps, which means basically never.
Also as far as I know there's no first party app to directly view your keychain items in iOS, which makes it useless when the domain detection fails (it's the most painful when the same service has two clearly different domains for desktop web and mobile web, which is a pretty common case)
I use keychain but end up duplicating a lot of entries in a Lastpast like app just to cover these cases.

- hrktb 11y agoYes, this definitely improved the situation, but I think there is still big limitations on what you have access to. Perhaps some of the entries are not marked as web passwords, and/or it is limited to the passwords Safari has saved (Chrome or firefox passwords would get ignored for instance). I have hundreds of entries in my keychain and "Other Passwords..." won't display most of them. As a behavior, it doesn't bother me much if Safari wouldn't get automatic access to other apps' keychain entries or generic passwords (from a security perspective it's a sensible limitation). Instead I would like a separate keychain app, mirroring the abilities of the OSX app.
