After a length of time, what are your thoughts? Any issues or concerns?
My 1Password account is coming up for renewal and I’m mulling switching over – I never got any family members interested in using 1Password and work has their own approach.
If you use Safari as your main browser it’s great. I’ve only had issues with 1Password autofilling on the Mac since they moved to their electron app. If you’re using anything other than Safari as your main browser stick to 1Password. The iCloud password extension is not good on Chromium or Firefox.
I miss having 1Password hold some of my non-password items like software licenses but I’ve moved those to a spreadsheet for now.
Other than those 2 issues I haven’t had a problem. I was even able to export my passwords and 2FA’s from 1Password to Apple Passwords very easily.
1Password is the only software sub that I am currently paying for (aside from 2TB iCloud plan and Inoreader).
It’s that good and I dream of the day I can cut the cord.
Interesting - I’m not having any issues with Brave and the Passwords app, other than having to re-enable it when Brave updates. I don’t use Chrome and only rarely use Firefox.
I stopped updating 1Password when it went subscription- there was no benefit to me in the additional features. I tried various alternatives, but found that Passwords does everything I need.
I switched from 1Password to Passwords just over a year ago and have no major complaints. I use Safari and the autofill works great, contrasting with the myriad problems I faced with the 1Password browser extension. (This was a key motivator for my migration.)
For the non-password items I used to store in 1Password, I now use a combination of the notes field on Passwords entries, Apple Notes, and spreadsheets. My only quibble is I sometimes encounter a site whose password requirements are quite specific, and the password generator in Passwords lacks some of the options available in 1Password.

I’ve only been using Passwords on my Mac for about a month. My iPad had been my primary computer until I installed iPadOS 26, and I wasn’t using Passwords or 1PW on my Mac. So I thought I’d give it a try.
I’ve been using 1PW since version 2 and depend on some features that Apple will probably never implement. But while Passwords is pretty basic it seems fine if you stay Apple only. IMO.
Maybe I have a wrong setting but it constantly asks me for 2FA when using Chrome or Brave.
What is the status of using the Apple Passwords app with other browsers, ie., with extensions? Also, aren’t you locked into Apple if you set up a passkey with it, whereas with 1Password, it’s cross platform?
Thanks for all the responses. I think illegible it a try before my 1Password subscription runs out.
