Correct me if I'm wrong, but you can't share passwords with iCloud Keychain, correct?
My workflow involves sharing certain accounts with family members and 1Password supports that. For now, that's the killer feature for me.
- derefr 7y agoI share passwords with my coworkers (for resources that don’t support teams+sub-users) not by using any password manager, but rather by just keeping the descriptions+usernames+passwords in a Google Sheet. We use GSuite, but that isn’t really relevant other than for controlling default ACLs to the document; you can just make a private Sheet and then share it by email to whoever you like. Google Sheets works okay (for this use-case) pretty much everywhere you need it, including on mobile. Doesn’t auto-fill anything, of course, but since the point is sharing the password, not restricting the ACLs of the password in any enterprise sense (i.e. so people that could use a password before can then lose access to it), it’s fine to allow people to just cache the password into iCloud Keychain and/or Chrome Sync. So it’s not as much of a speed bump as you’d think.
- cujo 7y agoI can appreciate that it works, but that solution is objectively worse for me. There's no convenience, it's more work, more error prone, and still a "cloud" storage solution with all its inherent issues. I can punt on the cloud problems, but I'll pay for the convenience of a password manager in this case.
