> Using a decent password manager ought to be considered one of the baby steps of online security It's a lot more effort to configure a password manager than it is to check a few radio buttons and then move on.

  There's a big exception: the built-in Keychain is solid and very easy to use. In 2022, my advice would be to use the built-in password manager for everything _unless_ you have a strong cross-platform requirement, in which case consider things like 1Password. Plus, that's setting you up for WebAuthn passkeys to become more pervasive and that's a transformative change relative to password logins.

Not OP but author, you're right. Totally agree. I will update the post.

  Especially that Keychain makes it so easy on macOS, so no additional setup is really required.

    the MacOS keychain application is a fantastic built in piece of software. I wish they’d do more with it to make it more user accessible
