It's nice to see it will work on Windows, but it's pointless to me if it doesn't also work on Android.
1Password barely works in safari if you use profiles. I’ve filed a bug in the past asking them to investigate and got back a boilerplate “try reinstalling” response. I don’t have the energy to chase down bugfixes in software I paid for. I’ll probably switch to this.
Wonder if it's going to be storing its data on iCloud in encrypted or unencrypted form?
Unencrypted form, or even encrypted where Apple gets to know the encrypted keys, would likely make this an attractive target for various groups (of both the good and bad varieties).
It’s hard currently to get normies to use a password manager so I think this is very good. It will make it much more accessible for them.
Personally I plan to continue using BitWarden because it’s cross platform.
This already basically exists, it’s a table inside settings with all the functionality I used to use in 1Password. Even handles 2FA codes seamlessly.
My guess is this app will be mostly just an extraction of that table from Settings.

If this is decent, I’d probably switch. I loved 1Pass 7. Then they bloated it. I’ll give them that the SSH Agent is pretty cool, but there are alternatives to that.
Since it doesn’t work on android it’s effectively an anti competitive lock in feature? We really need new antitrust laws and aggressive EU style enforcement
I’m mostly in Apple’s sphere of influence, but I still need my password manager to work from other people’s Android devices. So no thanks Apple, I’ll stick with Bitwarden.
Can and do third parties use Secure Enclave? Any HN users that know?
Huh, this will be great for the normies out there, as I assume Apple will tightly integrate it into safari and whatnot, easing them into using a password manager.
LastPass is no competition to anybody. Or is it?
Apple, love you. A password app that isn’t cross platform in 2024 is DOA. You keep claiming you’re becoming a services company, but then you keep doing things like this that makes me think you have absolutely no idea how to be a services company.
I like Apple and their hardware but knowing they can axe my account indiscriminately makes this an immediate 'no'. Very happy with Bitwarden.
