Pointless if it doesnt have cross platform. Apple devices already basically have a password manager, the main reason more people don't use it it is because it doesnt also work on android or windows, not because it's not a standalone app called Passwords.

Glad they're splitting it out of System Settings into a dedicated app.
I've also started migrating family members to it. It'll be way easier for the less technical people since it's already tightly integrated in the devices and OS they use everyday.

Password manager apps have been put on notice.
Not while people can't use the Apple one on Linux or Android.
There is still a place for password managers, but if I'm the LastPass CEO, writing is on the wall with this announcement... They will see a large exodus of customers that use Apple OS.
This needs to be multiplatform for it to be a viable option for the more tech inclined. I run all three major desktop operating systems plus iOS, so I use Bitwarden
It is available across the two major desktop operating systems, but you'd have to read the article to find that out. > The Passwords app is free to download, available across iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and MacOS 15, and will also work with the Vision Pro and Windows computers, says Apple.
Surprised to see Forget LastPass , as if it's the current incumbent. It very much isn't, at least in my perception. LastPass disgraced itself into irrelevance back in 2022. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LastPass#2022_customer_data_an...
The article text mentions 1Password as the first listed PWM product.

The other major password managers are on Linux, and Apple will need to support Linux for this new offering to be interesting to me.
