Source: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/id6473799789 Often praised: - Sharing chosen passwords and passkeys with a group, usually family, is a feature both reviewers and commenters single out. (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/id6473799789, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49010419, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49699705) - Reviewers like having two-factor codes and passkeys in the same place as their passwords, so they need no separate authenticator app. (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/id6473799789, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48224946) - Several commenters say they moved to it from 1Password or Bitwarden and found it does the job across their Apple devices, though with fewer features.

(https://apps.apple.com/us/app/id6473799789) - People coming from dedicated password managers miss things such as secure notes, custom fields and somewhere to keep cards or documents.
