Some people missed this and I think it’s a big deal: the Passwords app on iOS 18 and macOS Sequoia lets you to save passwords without a website! It even allows you to import them from other password managers! When adding passwords, you can specify a website or a custom label, like “Router”, "Passport Number”, or “Garage Door”.

If you try importing your passwords before macOS Sequoia, you’ll run into this limitation. Hold tight—your brighter day will come. :) mastodon.social/@maddox/112802

MastodonJon Maddox (@maddox@mastodon.social)Does anyone on iOS 18 beta know if you can add passwords to the Passwords app without also adding a URL? This is currently a limitation on Passwords right now. Worse, it won't even import passwords that don't have URLs attached. Apple realizes that there's passwords that….might not have a URL attached right? If this is still the case, this is yet another year where a silly deal breaker keeps me from migrating.
@rmondello eh. sounds cool but i think i'll stick to self-hosted vaultwarden

@worf If you’re happy, I’m happy. It’s all just software.

@rmondello @flargh This is good to know. Life long 1Password fan here but tired of their subscription model. I’ve stuck with it out of pure laziness. But I have been plugging away at moving my passwords to the password app as I use them. I plan on unsubscribing this year.

@rmondello thank you!

If I want to migrate from another paaaword manager to Pasawords, should I do that pre-iOS 18 via iCloud Keychain, or wait for iOS 18 and the Passwords app?

I don’t have access to a macOS computer if that’s relevant.

@rmondello But does it also allow export everything for true backups?

@rmondello @maddox

The fact that Apple Passwords can import from other password managers is great. More important to me is can it export to a form that other password managers can import?

@rmondello has there been work done on the Windows counterpart?

@rmondello I’m running the latest dev beta of iOS 18 and can’t find a way to import from 1Password: is this something coming soon or am I just missing it?

@rmondello Any idea if the Passwords app will support Legacy Contact access keys?

(That's why I switched from 1Password to BitWarden.)

@rmondello pls look into making the Chrome Extensions better. For eg, the simple ability to create a new password for a new website without being forced to go to Safari to do so
