How to turn off the Apple Passwords app
Hi … I’ve been using 1Password on my home MacBook/iPad/iPhone for years, and have been quite satisfied with it and the many features. I’ve looked at the Apple PASSWORD APP, but find it is lacking in ...
As I mentioned in my original post, “I’m comfortable with technology, but I’m not a technical person.” I’m just finding 1Password too complex to use across my three platforms, so for now I’m going to turn off 1Password and stick with the Apple password.app. Granted, 1Password has some great features not available in the password.app, but my focus is on maintaining my account information in the simplest way possible. Until the password.app came along, 1Password was great. But I’m just getting tired of being prompted by both apps. For the immediate future, I’ll hang onto my 1Password database until I feel comfortable that my account/password management is settled on my three platforms.
Hi JayDeePurdie maybe you missed my reply or 1P_Dave's, but 'across platforms' mostly means other than just android, microsoft or apple. If you are 'all-in' on apple it might make sense to further rely on their password .app. But if you are truly multi-platform that doesn't pan out, as you won't get cross-platform sync. The best way to do that is, as I indicated in my reply, stick to 1password and just 'turn off' the Apple specific (or firefox specific, or chrome specific) one(s) and make sure you have only one left.
