This is going to have to be really damn good to get me to leave 1Password, but I'll certainly give it a shot.
Got a tip for us?

Third-party browser plugins and Windows... The weakest links in the chain.
Why do you want to destroy something that works securely?
If you need a password for Windows, just open the app and search for it.
Actually I prefer to have it hidden in Settings instead of cluttering my Home Screen with one more icon.
I laughed hard 🤣🤣🤣 Are ppl really so dumb to not know how to store passwords currently in iOS ? I don’t think so.
I honestly don’t care if it’s a separate app as it’s not hard to get to in settings. I just want it to be less stupid.
Don’t ask me if I want to save a password until the website has said it’s correct. Or allow me to force it to save it.
Go onto a website that the password is t saved or u set up on the office pc. Can’t remember password. Guess at it. Phone asks do I want to save it. No. Wrong password. Guess again. Apple asks do I want to save it. No! **** it’s wrong too. Four attempts later. Guess. Do I want to save it. No. **** it’s correct but it’s not saved. A week later. What’s my password.
And I know you want me to choose a super fancy long string password. But see when I don’t want to. Don’t make it so obstructive for me to say no and get rid of your window.

I hope it also comes to watchOS.
Google is bringing passkeys and passwords to Wear OS.

This. It better not be an Apple only solution without a Linux client. That will doom it to failure for me.
I love the Apple password setup and ditched LastPass for it last year. The ONLY complaint I have is the Windows password doesn't support Shared passwords so if the dedicated application works around those pitfalls in windows then I am all for it!
I bet you can quiz 10 of your friends and family members and 9 of them won't know where the passwords are currently stores on their iPhones.
This would be a welcome change.

I have slowly been moving away from 1Password. Trying to limit the amount of subscriptions I have. While 1Password is more robust, Keychain isn't that bad.
That’s the problem with creating apps for iPhone. can create something very similar for free that will come with iOS — and you’re suddenly out of business
It's great for those that use other OSs at home / work..I've been using iCloud Keychain for years, and it's so good (and so convenient) that I genuinely never saw the appeal of third-party password managers.
I feel bad for 1password! It will be a massive blow
Having never used 1Password or BitWarden, what do those offer that the ios passwords setting tab doesn't do?
If it doesn't offer a local-only vault + local device sync option (no passwords stored in the cloud) then it's a complete non-starter for me.
I refuse to upload my passwords to a system controlled by someone else and that's accessible via the public internet - don't care how beautiful and perfect they [claim] their security practices are. Holding that data at-rest makes them a big juicy target.
Holding out on 1Password 7 until it becomes unusable, then it's EnPass for me.

Nonfunctional. Huh. Yet somehow hundreds of millions of people use it every day.
Great news. I use the current system tucked away in settings along with a Shortcut and it works well. This should be even better.
I will definitely compare it against my current password manager (1Password) to see if it can provide me with everything I get from it. If it does then I may ditch 1Password. 1Password costs me £30.99 for the year which isn't much considering I use the app numerous times a day on multiple devices (iPad, iPhone, Mac).
My yearly subscription for 1Password is up early July, so this app won't come in time for me to ditch 1Password until next year. At least it gives me plenty of time to compare them both and decide whether or not to ditch 1Password next year.

Just wait....
"The all new password app made by Apple, its magical, it really makes use of the powerful M Series Chips. We can't wait for our users to to try it out*
*iCloud+ 200GB Membership required, only available on iPhone 15 Pro, M4 iPads, and M3 Macbook Pros"
Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised.
1st real useful feature/app rumored for ios18!
I use Apple passwords today and am quite happy with it ...

Sherlocked lol. Apple doing what apple does best, stealing other app ideas.
Sherlock
Sherlock is a now-defunct file and web search tool created by Apple for the "classic" Mac OS, and carried through to early versions of Mac OS X. Sherlock was introduced in 1998 with Mac OS 8.5 as an extension of Finder's file searching capabilities.

I was gonna say the same thing except replacing "subscriptions" with "electron crap apps".
Until then, you can make a shortcut in Shortcuts that opens password.
Open Shortcuts, choose add new shortcut, add "show passwords".
Then make it into an app icon on your phone or Mac.
