Say what you will, but the Apple ecosystem's Passwords app and integration works great. It locks me into their services (iCloud), but I don't see them ever charging for it or sunsetting it. (watch me eat my words in the near future)

Password App surely is a good alternative, however i don’t think there are clients for Linux or Windows? …and that is where Bit/Vaultwarden comes into play.

  That's correct; I only use MacOS and iOS.

  I can't speak for Linux, but it's now part of their iCloud for Windows suite with browser access via extension[1]. Exporting from Bitwarden to Passwords (on an iPhone at least) is (as of this post) a simple Export Vault operation, but non-passwords/passkeys are not supported. 1: https://support.apple.com/guide/icloud-windows/set-up-icloud-passwords-icw2babf5e03/icloud https://support.apple.com/guide/icloud-windows/set-up-icloud...

Google's is even better, as it is cross-platform (although same caveat of having even more dependency on your account is still true). Plus (not sure about Apple) but Google also does (portable) passkeys and OTP.

  Apple does portable passkeys and OTP as well. I know you're going to laugh at me since I'm using Apple, but I don't trust Google with anything. Apple at least pretends to care about keeping my information in-house.

    I'm not gonna laugh but I can tell you quite authoritatively that Google will not abuse your passwords and passkeys. But more importantly (which is the main decision factor for me personally) - given the current state of software (in)security, I trust Google more than anyone else to build it right and to avoid attack vectors less sophisticated companies might expose. (DISCLAIMER: I am on 1Password which I've been using for long long time - way before password management in Chrome became a real thing. But let's just say, GPM is becoming more and more compelling proposition).

One day they could decide to suddenly block your account for no reason they would like to communicate to you or just you lose your password. And then you will be screwed very hard with not recourse...
