Very nice. Glad to see this happening. 1Password is supported.

No, 1Password are not yet supported just as autofill

Hope 1Password Will be updated soon to support this

They will. And raise their prices yet again for doing so.

So anyone thinking that a 3rd party password manager is running the risk of obsolescence?

No. iCloud Keychain isn't cross platform. I need Bitwarden for cross platform since I have alot of stuff on my work Windows PC. Unless Apple makes an extension for Firefox, I don't see that happening.

They might. Apple already makes iCloud Keychain for Chrome and Edge on Windows. It's not out of the realm of possibility.

I'm not seeing anything in the new APIs about this feature. Is this a real feature?

I believe the issue is that an app has to be installed via the App Store for it to ever be granted keychain access, and Firefox (the only browser I use) doesn't install that way.

I also use Bitwarden because of this and the fact it's better than keychain for filling in passwords. You can define which fields on any site it auto-fills, and I use this for one site that requires three pieces of information, and my home router which keychain refuses to recognise as having a password field.

This function has been (I think temporary) removed in beta 2.

I can confirm this is gone today (June 27th, 2022).

Glad you posted it, thought I was crazy.

I hope OTP Auth will be supported.

Yep. I use that on both iOS and macOS and I haven't found anything better. I'll continue using it.

 

[Demonknight]

Was this feature omitted from the initial iOS 16 release as it does not look like this on my phone.

 

[brandscill]

Yeah it looks like this never actually happened

 

[Demonknight]

Good news. This feature is now live on iOS 16.1

Now also make this available on MacOS so we can use the chrome passwords in safari
