I moved away from 1P some time ago due to their move to a subscription model. After trying other solutions and having high hopes for Apple finally shipping a passwords app I finally decided to move back this year.
It's costly but excellent. I have several accounts shared with my wife and was getting caught up in the passkey problems you mentioned. Even though 1P handling OTP is not really 2FA it's very convenient and still more secure than no OTP. I also don't always want to have to have my phone on me.
On top of that I like knowing that if I change my mind at some point I can export my credentials. Moving my iCloud keychain creds was an eye-opener: it felt purposefully painful. You can do it but much of the metadata is missing or lost in the process, with the titles being the URLs. Yuck.
- ramon156 2y agoSwitching from 1p to icloud makes sense, but there's a decent chunk that isnt in the apple ecosystem. I'm keeping 1p for now, I'd even argue that the price is pretty good, especially for families.
- grahamj 2y agoTo be clear I never used iCloud/keychain exclusively, but my wife did and I performed the migration from that to 1P.
- onetwothreepass 2y agoI prefer to pay for something as important as a password manager. It's like some people get excited about all-you-can-eat sushi: sorry, but raw fish isn't something I want to go super-cheap with.
- apitman 2y agoHave you tried bitwarden?
- grahamj 2y agoYep that's mainly what I used. I trust it and it has a good feature set but the UX is just not up to snuff imo. I could get by with it but no way was I going to roll it out to my less techy family members. 1P is just much easier to use and more polished.
- apitman 2y agoI've heard others say similar things. Bitwarden was a big UX upgrade for me coming from keepass. I haven't tried 1P. What do you prefer about?
