    This is good, but a bit late for me. I already moved to Bitwarden for passwords and 2FA. I also don’t expect this to work on my Linux PC.

      How is bitwarden for Android? I tried Roboform, and I could almost never get it to autofill passwords on Android. Eventually I just gave up on it completely.

        Autofill on Android is just generally terrible. Password fields are basically never recognised.

        Works really well in my experience. Every once in awhile something won’t be recognized but no more than on desktop.

    Good to know, Apple’s security and privacy settings are good… giving the fact that they DON’T share any information that they harvest from you, which is a completely different thing than NOT harvesting at all. They like their customers data so much that they embedded encryption tools in their dedicated hardware design.

    Regarding the Apple Password Manager, it is a good tool but ultimately I prefer to self host a solution agnostic to a company in which I hold no ability to speak or vote on their future. I recommend Bitwarden and a VPN (Wireguard) to access your vault.

    This has been the main thing keeping me from switching to keychain full time from Bitwarden. That and password syncing with a spouse

    Good for normal people, I use Bitwarden though and don’t intend on switching. This is a win for the masses however.

    Good to hear for people that are tightly interwoven with Apple’s ecosystem and have been using it, more options is always good. I’ve personally been using 1Password on my Apple devices (which integrates nicely on iOS with Face ID and very well on my 2019 MBP with Touch ID).

    Will this work on only Mac, or can I install the extension on my work laptop Edge browser too? That would be essential for me to be able to use it cross platform.

      Apples own is Mac only (well, I’m 99% sure at least), if you want to go cross platform I’d recommend Bitwarden or, like some others here has mentioned, 1Password.
