Apple's is also not un-exportable. I've twice exported my password database to try other password managers.
Apple's built-in is now approaching the level of a full password manager rather than just keychain sets. Entries can be mapped to multiple sites/hosts, it supports TOTP, and shared sets. Even "plays well" with third party managers but I wouldn't recommend that, it gets confusing.
- lxgr 3y ago> Apple's is also not un-exportable. I've twice exported my password database Well, have you tried exporting a passkey? Passwords and passkeys are not the same thing in Apple's implementation, and I don't think there is a way to export the latter by design. I think they can be shared via AirDrop these days, but that doesn't provide a migration path out of their walled garden since I think that process is mediated by Apple somehow, i.e. it's not just a JSON-encoded private key or anything like that. Unfortunately Apple have been pretty bad about updating their "Apple Platform Security" document, which is where they'd normally share such details, so I haven't been able to figure out how "passkeys over AirDrop" actually work under the hood and whether there's a path to cross-vendor migration there.
- jmholla 3y ago> I've twice exported my password database to try other password managers. Have you done that on just an iPhone? Last I checked you need a Mac. So iPhone users have to by another Apple product to leave the Apple ecosystem in way that doesn't require you to unlock your password settings multiple times to transfer each password.
