Passwords vs 1Password

I did a trial run on Passwords from 1P and it worked pretty well. I just ran into too many features that I liked and wanted on 1Password. If all you need are passwords, it’s great. If you want more from it, you’re better off with 1Password.

Some reasons I stayed with 1Password

  • Cross-platform compatibility
  • Quick view on macOS
  • Additional item storage (license keys, license files, credit cards, etc)
  • Linked items
  • Security question generation
  • Masked emails with Fastmail

One app I just learned about was Access to pair with Passwords. This helps fill in some of the gaps. Almost mandatory IMO. I posted about it here.

It looks much better than using Apple Notes like Simon Storving did.
