Interestingly enough, Apple now has a Windows app for managing passwords as well.

Keychain Access (and iCloud keychain) work for browser logins and are getting TOTP in upcoming releases of iOS/macOS, but have no support for arbitrary secure fields, notes, etc.The password management space is something that I see as being ripe for Sherlocking in various ways (at least for browser logins), so its worth keeping in mind that there are already some pretty usable options out there that do 80-90% of what most people need: Only thing I’m missing on the Mac is getting to my favorites to copy a password/TOTP straight from the menu item, which I could do immediately on 1Password Mini.įull disclosure: I know the Secrets developer personally (as we both worked at Portugal Telecom), and I believe the security design to be very sound. It also has a number of “creature comforts” like displaying passwords in large type or spelling them out, tag support, and a browser extension for Safari (as well as TouchID/FaceID and Shortcuts support, as well as other native features). The UX is very smooth (on the phone, you can navigate pretty much anywhere with just your thumb).It does native iCloud syncing between iOS and macOS.It has great import features–it can import from multiple other password managers, and imported my 1Password vault without a hitch, including TOTP tokens, notes and other metadata.This will be turned into a proper table later, but here are the ones I’ve used and tested, as well as a few others of note: Secrets Having a subset of data (TOTP and credit card PIN codes) quickly available on the Apple Watch.

iCloud or OneDrive/Dropbox cloud sync across Mac and iOS (Windows and Linux are secondary).

Having used 1Password since its very beginning, I grew increasingly distrustful of their product management and roadmap (the key point for me being that I will not subscribe to their cloud syncing service), so this is an attempt at putting together a systematic list of decent alternatives for my own use.
