Last pass had a major incident recently iirc.

I moved to Bitwarden right after it, and I can't believe how much better it is in terms of UX \o/. I whish I had made the move years earlier.

Have there been any known incidents with Bitwarden?

This would be less annoying if we could get actual federated identity that big players would actually accept, as it stands having to fetch a key from a safe deposit box every time I register a new account is a huge amount of friction.

Microsoft is a big player and here you go: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/identity/ad... I currently have a Microsoft (Work) account that I'm SSO logged on.

To be clear, I was referring to one federated identity that everyone would accept, as it stands there isn't a single, federated identity provider that Apple, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Bank of America, my power company, etc and so on will all accept. I'd like to secure one spot on the internet as an identity, a digital passport of sorts, and secure that heavily then have it log me in to everything. The closest thing we have currently to a digital identity is an email account, but we should really move past that.

I believe Apple only lets you use certain APIs (like Keychain) if you distribute only through the App Store. That policy has really killed a lot of functionality on macOS. I suspect it will cause fiction on iOS when the EU forces them to allow alternative install sources. Personally, it grates me when Apple cripples functionality this way to try to keep us stuck in their platform. Can't use Firefox with Keychain. You…
