I have already been using iPhone Passwords for all my passwords. Anyone else doing this? It autofills passwords on the phone and I can copy a password from the phone Passwords and paste it on my MacBook.

Whenever I do a password change, I have to do it on my phone, so that the new one will be stored. But that is fine with me. I’m happy to do that in exchange for being freed from “password managers”.

This and the android equivalent (chrome/google) are very common methods. It’s only in enterprise spaces that they’ve adopted the likes of 1Password, Bitwarden, etc.

Really no big difference, you’re still technically using a password manager.

Also you can access those passwords on Mac as well, it’s in settings just as you would find it in your phone. No need to copy from your phone and paste it, Mac can autofill. It can also autofill on other browsers through the dedicated right click menu, but it’s a bit more clunky than on Safari.

Fun fact, those same passwords can be accessed on windows now, install iCloud for windows and enable passwords. It uses a dedicated app on Windows.

I use metamask and safari is not supported.

Yup, it's been super convenient to have iCloud sync all the keychain entries including wifi passwords, and quite secure and private.

I also enable keychain sync on my Mac so I can create passwords there too.

Crazy thing is that there's a plugin for windows to use them as well. https://support.apple.com/guide/icloud-windows/set-up-icloud...

It’s what I do but auto fill doesn’t work in chrome on osx :(

Like the sibling commenter I use Safari for almost everything. It just works and saves more battery than Chrome, plus there's Handoff between phone and laptop.
