iOS 14: Keychain password manager to gain new 1Password-like features

• dangus 7y ago
  iCloud Keychain definitely needs an update as it’s kind of ancient in terms of user experience compared to a modern password manager. And of course, the keychain in macOS was a very forward thinking feature of the operating system. On the other hand, you’d be bonkers to choose a platform-locked password manager in 2020.

    Over the last year or so I’ve migrated from LastPass to Keychain and I’m glad I have. The integration is far smoother to the point where I don’t have to think of it at all. Having said that, I have only just recently gone all in on the Apple ecosystem, but I definitely don’t see myself leaving.

      Try 1Password or maybe Bitwarden. I’ve only used the former, and I’ve also used LastPass. LastPass is so awful that I’m not surprised the keychain is a better experience. 1Password is a huge breath of fresh air compared to LastPass and feels much more native. Learning the keyboard shortcut to fill passwords is also key to your enjoyment (command backslash). I still have a gaming PC on Windows and I wouldn’t rule out Linux or Android in the future as I think it’s important to evaluate all solutions available before making a purchase, so I think the idea of never having to migrate passwords is an important one. My own opinion, of course.
