-Codebook is free if you store locally I believe
-Bitwarden free
-ProtonPass is free but i think there is upper limit on credit card items
-KeePassXC

I do not know if you trust them but the following options have license option:

-StickPassword
-SafeInCloud

I think you meant , the developer was on this thread saying the app was profitable and growing.

Due to security patches, I am not sure if license model is sustainable at least with smaller user base/indie apps
while i understand the advantages of the cloud am trying to stay from it to me the user should be able to have our database local

So that rules out bitwarden proton pass is part of my account package mainly use there vpn.KeePassium hasn't been updated in 8months

just notice strongbox has been updated even if it small fixes that may be my go to for a backup offline wise

i believe the others two don't have passkey support and my isp account required it for sign in

Relating I am not sure if license model is sustainable at least with smaller user base/indie apps -- am beginning to notice that also!

codebook wasn't my cup of tea but am going recheck it due to it having wifi sync

I continue to be a paid 1Password user and lover for how well it's supported and updated and, crucially, how it's a fully independent solution.

It's really nice to not have that tied into my specific OS and/or devices as much as the Apple offering is.

It's not an ideological thing so much as a practical and functional one.
 
I use 1Password extensively, but I've been thinking of changing to use Apple's built-in Passwords app. Any thoughts or comments? I realise it's a bit less capable, but the basic job of holding and filling passwords seems to work pretty well across all my Mac devices.
After dealing with my daughter being locked out of her Apple ID and locked out of everything including her passwords, I wouldn’t.

Bingo!
Exactly the scenario I don't want to have.

Too many things, especially important things like passwords or emails, tied to specific IDs (like an AppleID) are more of a headache than a help.

If you are happy no reason to jump ship, you could try Apple Passwords app. I'd suggest Proton Pass i think you might like it.

I still think 1pw is best all rounder, I quit on them due to their business practices. that and I'd rather support a FOSS platform

If losing my AppleID means i lose access to my passwords, the answer is absolute no.

This is an interesting development and a huge reason I wouldn't use it, since I would use it to store my Apple ID. Without access to the passwords I couldn't get into my Apple ID. LOL that would be a disaster. No thanks.

There's something to be said about not putting all of your eggs in one basket.

For me, I'd rather go with a company who's focus is on the product, not one that thinks its a feature that may or may not get updated, or dropped in the future.
