This is such a good idea in theory but I don't want my passwords locked to one platform. This goes for practically all password managers. If I want to enter that password in Chrome on Windows, I don't want to painstakingly copy a 16 digit password made from random characters from my iphone's keychain.
Absolutely. Things have improved over the years, there is an official chrome extension for keychain that works on windows (although I’ve never used it so can’t comment on how well it works) it’s also possible to export your keychain database (although only using a Mac). The worst thing about keychain now is that, on iOS, it’s only accessible through settings which makes accessing 2FA codes a pain. I think keychain should be it’s own app.
Which password manager do you use? I am open to trying an alternative but having all my passwords in one place is really scary so I struggle to trust a third party.
I’ve been using Bitwarden for years and I'm very happy with it. My partner recently moved to 1Password from Keychain and I haven't heard her complain, which is a good thing.
+1 for BitWarden. I moved from 1Password some time ago due to their constantly charging for upgrades and each client. I think the fit and finish / ease of use may be a touch better with 1P but I love that BW has syncing on the free tier and has free clients for every platform.
