Apple Passwords

Security
Not Privacy Focused

Apple Passwords is a password management system integrated into macOS and iOS devices. It securely stores passwords, credit card information, and other sensitive data, and automatically fills them in on websites and apps. While convenient for users within the Apple ecosystem, its limited cross-platform compatibility and reliance on Apple's security practices raise concerns for some.

Privacy-Focused Alternative

Open‑source credential vault

Bitwarden offers better privacy and security than Apple Passwords due to its cross-platform compatibility, end-to-end encryption, and open-source nature. While Apple Keychain is convenient for users within the Apple ecosystem, it is limited to Apple devices and relies on Apple's security practices. Bitwarden's focus on cross-platform compatibility, encryption, and open-source transparency makes it a more secure and privacy-conscious choice for password management.
