![]() It's easy to import your logins from 1Password to Keychain.Įnglish is not my first language, but I hope my experience could be of some help. To my knowledge 1Password and Keychain is pretty similar. And since most people use biometrics, on 1Password, it's the same there. Someone need to physically have both your device and biometrics to get in. It just works.ġPassword is probably a bit more robust and safer, thanks to the secret key, but Keychain is safe enough for me. No need to open Keychain and check your passwords, they're always there in the background. Keychain looks messy, but is made to be in the background. Keychain looks bad compared to 1Password, in 1Password, if some site icons was missing, I made my own. Unfortunately you can not lock Notes with files, hopefully Apple will add the function soon. (almost).įor documents, notes etc, I use locked Apple Notes. I ended up with a shortcut on my Mac, iPhone and iPad, so now Keychain function as an app. With just one password to remember.Īlso liked it was an app, unlike Keychain. What I liked about 1Password is the way it look, and I could store my passwords, credit cards, important documents and notes, driver's license, software licenses and more in one place. A few days later I was back to Keychain, and been there since. Keychain is more fluid and better integrated. It require more steps to use, and had some errors. You have to download the app and the browser extension. It looked great, but as you put it, it was more clunky to use. When 1Password 8 was released I went back to 1Password. Used it a few years, moved to Apple Keychain, a couple of years later back to 1Password, then back to Keychain. Starting to use it a year or two after the release. Not sure if iOS 12 and macOS Mojave will be better in this regard.My first password manager was 1Password. It’s possible to disable it for Safari on both iOS and macOS, but then iCloud Keychain becomes less attractive because one loses the suggested password option and needs to manually copy/paste passwords when logging into websites. There is inherent vulnerability for password management systems when Auto-fill is enabled. It’s still good but not as good as a totally random 15 characters long password mixing digits, lower and uppercase letters with symbols. If an attacker knew you’re using iCloud Keychain, he/she would have an edge and the real strength of the password would then be similar to a 12-long mixed digits, lower and uppercase letters without symbols. Passwords generated with iCloud Keychain follow a predictable pattern: 4 strings of 3 characters (mixed digits, lower and uppercase letters) separated by dashes. There are two caveats regarding the security of iCloud Keychain. If needed, you can couple it with Google Authenticator or Authy for your 2FA codes.Īnd as mentioned, you can use password-protected notes for other items, like security questions for instance. If you’re 100% within the Apple ecosystem and don’t need to share password with others, then iCloud Keychain is good enough. I also like the thought process that Bitwarden uses when creating a new account that you can watch here This just seem like this is how it should be done in every password manager. Also, the free version is all that most people need and the upgrade to premium is the cheapest around too. I do like how Bitwarden has the password generator right in front of the plugin where 1Password feels like it hides the password generator. It’ll hold up better to brute force attacks if their servers ever get compromised.
