So are they literally just launching an icon which opens keychain?

#92I started using Keychain pretty much primarily this year (other than 1Password at work) and it works pretty seamlessly for me (granted Apple devices only). Even the Chrome extension works quickly as if it were a native part of Chrome. 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 alr…
Does the Chrome extension still require you to enter a six digit code every day to even use it? When I tried it this was incredibly annoying and I switched back to 1password shortly after.
Not sure that it's every day but I haven't been too bothered by it. It's not unlike the security policies where I work. So needing to type in a OTP isn't out of my normal routine.

#93Pointless 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.
Agreed, for me it needs a solid webapp too. I reference personal credentials on my corp laptop and can't/won't login to anything that's in the system and am unable to install any unauthorized apps.

#94Earlier quoted context omitted.
That's a great reason to not use Apple's, but Mozilla's doesn't lock you in at all.
The way Google's password manager covers websites anywhere I'm logged into Chrome plus native Android apps anywhere I'm logged into Google Play is super convenient though (albeit total lock-in, I won't argue that). Some apps are even developed well enough that a password originally stored via Chrome will be suggested for the app, I guess by cross-referencing the origins in some mutual way. And payment card details wi…

At least on iOS, this works for any password manager.

#95So… this new app does most of what the depreciated “Keychain” app did, except now it’s got a iOS-looking UI. Huzzah, I guess, the “passwords” section in the iOS-restyled system prefs sure wasn’t substituting for Keychain for me. Passwords doesn’t appear to handle secure notes, though, and I still have a few of those, too. I still really hate the iOS-restyled system prefs. Tiny unresizable text, a long vertical scroll…
We've been able to lock notes in the Notes app for a while either with a password or Touch/FaceID.

#96If this supports OTP, and ideally profiles, I'd likely cancel my 1Password subscription. I've been waiting for Apple to release something like this for a long time and surprised it took them this long.
Keychain has been built into all apple devices for ages, and all support OTP and seamless sharing across all your devices. Genuinely interested to know why you have been using 1Password when apple will already do it all for you? Did you not know?

It does work on windows; the mentioned that. No word yet on Android.
No dedicated app on Windows though, it'll be part of their existing iCloud Windows application.

They just announced this:
Record and transcribe a live call directly from the Phone app.21 You can also search call history more easily, dial smarter, and switch SIM cards seamlessly.

#99Why would I use it over Bitwarder?
It's native and not Electron shit?
