I used 1Password for several years and I have switched away to Minimalist on iOS/macOS. The updates to keychain are welcomed since Minimalist piggybacks it.
Got a tip for us?

For wsj, Barron’s and Dow Jones, which must share common auth credentials I have long received these alerts. So it was nice to suppress those.
But l had expected to suppress the alerts for my credit Union and netteller sites which must also share cress, but this alert was no longer present. I don’t understand this as I checked both keys and both u/n and p/w are these same for these two sites. It seems there’s a flaw in this feature.
I do too but I noticed something strange has happened:

Here’s a tutorial I created explaining how I overcome these iCK deficits:

Imagine in a release of iOS, all websites having username and passwords will have predetermined info filled in for you without any way to change it. You are essentially locked out of login from any other device for those websites since you don’t even know what the password is and cannot change it without breaking the site.
Sometimes you need a passwort for something that is not important enough to choose a secure password. More and more websites require you to register to access certain content, but you would not really care if somebody stole that password, because you would just register again. That's why I always use passwords in the form [websitename][always the same word]. For example if your word is "dog" and you register at Tinder, your password would be "tinderdog". You will never forget that password, because you always use the same rule, but at the same time it is very unlikly that someone would steal that password, because they would not have any benefit from stealing that password anyway.
It is very annoying for me if an unimportant website requires a password with upper cases, lower cases, numbers and special characters. It is not an online banking account.

And to think I just tap the strong password button and never know my password but it is strong and works.
Tinderdog hmmm, I was doing that kind of modular mnemonic p/w until almost a decade ago when iCloud Keychain launched. Hard to believe I’ve been doing it wrong ever since.
hmmm, weird. Don't worry about it
I can still log into your bank account just fine ?
Mine doesn’t. I have several where it’s the same username/password (because it’s the same account but the service has multiple subdomains) and they are definitely separate.
You can also just export all the passwords data from last pass, and import it onto keychain on a Mac. That way you don't need to do the manual entries.
