Is there a way to port passwords from Apple Passwords to Bitwarden? I’d love to migrate but can’t seem to figure out how.
Apple Keychain
Same, but I also use chrome a lot so I use chrome and apple.
I’m always curious what the benefit of using a 3rd party password manager is over these tools that work just fine.
They’re bringing Apple’s password manager to 3rd party apps – i.e., Chrome – in the new macOS version.

Well the immediate disadvantage you are facing is that you have passwords stored in two places.
The main benefit is being able to access passwords without using a web browser.
For example, say you need to tell someone your credit card over the phone. With Safari you need to go into Settings > Auto Fill > Edit > unlock, and finally you need to click on the card number to view it. That’s a horrible process.
With 1Password I can hit a global hotkey, you might use control-space for example, type ‘card’ and there it is. 1Password even has hotkeys to quickly copy the name/number/expiry/security code with a single key press (for each one).
Another big advantage is most password managers have OTP support. Safari and Chrome do not.
@abhibeckert @richard_wagner Apple keychain passwords can be accessed with using a web browser - in the Settings app on iOS, and in Keychain Access on macOS.
Bitwarden. 100%
I use Bitwarden.
1password. I’m keeping a close eye on Apple’s own keychain stuff. It sure seems like they’re moving toward a password manager app of sorts. Once that happens, then I’ll probably jump ship from 1password as it’s getting expensive, and I don’t love 1password 8.
Couldn’t agree more with this. 1Password 8 is so bad and frustrating while apples product is looking more and more enticing. Especially with shared passwords.
Slowness (although I have a pre-M series MacBook Pro), the search functionality and the ability to view my different vaults on the side were both tweaked in a way that I feel it requires significantly more time and effort to get to what I need.
