This already basically exists, it’s a table inside settings with all the functionality I used to use in 1Password. Even handles 2FA codes seamlessly. My guess is this app will be mostly just an extraction of that table from Settings.

I’ve mostly switched over to this over the past year already, from my previous password manager BitWarden. My only complaint is the current Safari/iCloud Keychain doesn’t support arbitrary fields like BitWarden or other password managers do. I often keep crucial info about accounts in such fields, but it’s not possible with Apple’s current implementation. Hopefully their new Password app will support it.

  Yes, having a place to store security questions like whatever my favorite flavor of ice cream was 9 years ago (looking at you, United) would be nice and the main feature I missing now.

    I still generate random passwords for the questions. I don’t like that someone who knows me well could use them to gain access to an account. … but yes we definitely need extra fields for storing that and lots of other related data. I’m a 1Password user and one of the features I really like is that it saves ALL of the fields from a signup form along with the password. That has saved me a couple of times where I needed to know some value I had entered at the time I created an account.

  It doesn’t support arbitrary fields, but does have a plaintext, multiline-supporting “notes” field. That’s where I put security questions & answers.

Are you talking about Keychain Access, or do newer versions of macOS have something directly inside System Preferences?

  Newer versions of macOS have something in addition to Keychain Access, known as Passwords. In fact, when you launch the Keychain Access program it now asks if you want to use "Passwords" or "Keychain Access", the former opening what the parent speaks of, and the latter continuing to the legacy Keychain Access.

    Interesting.

Yeah I’ve been using this for over a year and love it. The integration is (obviously) so much better than any other pw manager.
