I really love an alternative that does these: 1. native app (no bullshit JS based) for speed 2. the same keybindings CMD+\ or Option+CMD+\ to fill in or pop up the menu 3. sync with icloud 4. not look like total shit (ie. lastpass) Do these basic things and I think you can easily steal 1pass users.

Apple is so close with Keychain, I feel if they spent a bit a time on the UI of it and offered some plugin capability it'd be perfect.

  I found Keychain quite horrible. Everything is or at least felt just too abstracted away so that I don't feel in control of my secrets. Might have been just the UI though. And then it's obviously not crossplatform by default. Sync your password database between your Android phone and Mac? Nope. So it's another step into vendor lock in.

    Keychain supports some pretty great stuff like WebAuthN and 2FA codes. It’s UI is kinda bad though. I’m all-Apple and techy, so it works great for me.

    The Keychain integrations and UI have improved a lot over the past couple years. That said, I still use 1p for family sharing.

  I agree it’s so easy, if they add some sort of plugin that pushes to you phone to verify It’s you - game over.

  As a regular user of Android, Windows, and Linux systems Keychain is almost worthless.

What of these are you missing with keypass? Except that sync would be done through a regular file (the keypassdb).

  All of them? There isn't a single good KeePass client on macOS. Strongbox is the most polished but doesn't offer browser integration. KeePassXC has a terrible UI, and MacPass doesn't remember your key file between sessions. Both require staying in your Dock and need the janky KeePassHTTP-Connector to work with a browser.

    KeePassXC is excellent, and available on MacOS / Linux / Windows

Can recommend Keepassium for macOS/iOS. Just works™.
