In Settings, select General > AutoFill & Passwords and then choose which app(s) you want to work with AutoFill. 1Password appears in this list, and you can disable integration with Apple’s app.
Very nice indeed, bye bye 1Password... Please Apple, add "Archive" in the next dot release. Archive is helpful in that you still keep old logins. but they are hidden, out of sight.
Personally, i just use apple notes for all this. Apple notes is underrated for storing things
The workflow for 1Password is to change the password on the web site whereupon 1P prompts to update to the new password. I imagine Passwords will do something similar.
I’ve used 1password for years and loved it but I’ve been having issues with, in particular the he safari app autofilling my passwords.
I’ve been trying passwords and I love it as it’s much more streamlined and works better for autofilling.
I’m now in the process of moving everything over one by one.
Cross platform doesn’t bother me so I’m happy with it. Reviews Ive read say it’s secure.

I switched from 1Password to Passwords + an app called Access which is a passwords companion for those things Passwords doesn’t have yet. UI has a similar interface to Passwords and sync via iCloud, it has a lifetime option for those who do not want subscription. Bitwarden is good as well, I’ll keep a second duplicate vault in Bitwarden for when I’ll use Firefox or other non-Mac machines but that’s a rare case, so my primary tool is going to be Passwords anyway.
Apple are obviously not listening to me, and have missed a trick. I said long ago on this forum they should create an app called Secrets.
Spreading your secrets everywhere is no safer than using a trusted provider like keychain, upon which the Passwords app is based.
1Password is garbage when it comes to importing and exporting data. You may end up doing most of it manually. You’ll want to export your data as a .csv file. You might need to re-enter all of the 2FA codes if you have any.
My main issue with the Passwords app that makes it unusable is that it has a zillion duplicates. Instead of figuring out that the same password works with everything under the domain, it gives me the same password multiple times with different subdomains. For instance, I don’t need www . myurl . com and www. myurl . com/stuff entries. Just give me the top level domain and infer the same password for each subdomain unless I specify otherwise. I’ve seen as many as a dozen entries all for the same set of pages.
Granted, I think this is a keychain problem and not the Passwords front end to keychain, which is basically what the app is. There are thousands of entries I’ve built up over the years and it would take an eternity to prune them all. For now, until I figure out a way to solve that problem, I’ll stick with 1Password. I wish Apple would give me a list of all passwords in a domain for each account and let me auto-prune them.

You’ll need to clean it up, but the new passwords app let’s you add multiple domains to the same password entry, which is something it lacked before and kept me with Bitwarden. Just spend the time cleaning up the duplicates and then you’ll be good to go. Keychain has nothing to do with the Passwords app. It’s the new version of the Safari password manager.
I just deleted all my passwords from the password app and started again with a clean slate and its working great so far.
I'm manually moving over my passwords from 1password. There is loads I don't use so not importing everything so shouldn't take to long.
Is this setting broken for anybody else? I am literally unable to see what websites belong to what credentials (other than the random title it sets). I have deleted the app, restarted my phone, switched iCloud Keychain off & on again reinstalled the app but it’s still bugged (stuck on titles, even when being set as "websites")

At this point I won't be ditching 1Password. The ability to be ability to store credit cards, is something I use a lot with 1Password. It costs me £30.99 for 12 months subscription for 1Password, which personally I don't think is a lot of money based on how often I use 1Password on my various devices, and 1Password has served me well in the 11 years of using it.
My subscription to 1Password is not up for renewal until 1 July 2025, so if Apple can improve their password app up till then, I may consider stopping using 1Password, but at this point I would not.

If you think that Apple Passwords does 90% of the same stuff for free, then you are definitely the target audience for Apple Password. To me, it doesn't even come close to 50% of what 1Password does. Nothing wrong with that though, I think it is wonderful that Apple introduced the concept of a password manager to more people.
