Migrating to 1password from Keychain: Many Keychain and Wifi password questions.
Hi all,
I'm switching my customer from using iCloud Keychain to 1Password
Before I do this, I’m going through the process myself, first, because I cannot mess this up for the customer - it has to be smooth as possible!
(In other words, I too have switched to 1password, before switching my customer)
So far, with MrC’s tools, i’ve carried out the following successfully:
- Import Safari passwords to 1password
- Export / import of login keychain
On my Mac:
- in Safari, Autofill is Off
- iCloud Keychain is On.
On my iPhone:
- in Settings->Passwords->Autofill Passwords: iCloud Keychain is Off, and 1Password is On.
- iCloud Keychain is Enabled.
Everything’s running smoothly.
My questions are as follows:
In macOS, Keychain, login.keychain, and System.keychain are all required, and will continue to function in the background, regardless of 1password?
My MacBook and iPhone will continue to use Keychain to automatically join known wifi networks, regardless of 1password?
My MacBook and iPhone will continue to use Keychain to save wifi network passwords, regardless of 1password?
As I have iCloud Keychain enabled, wifi passwords will continue to sync across my devices?
I don’t need to import wifi passwords into 1password, as Keychain will continue to work seamlessly in the background, automatically joining known networks?
I don’t want or need to turn Keychain (local, or iCloud) off completely?
It isn’t possible to switch Keychain off completely?
With iCloud Keychain enabled across devices, is there any benefit in importing the macOS login keychain to 1Password?
In macOS, t seems that wifi passwords are stored in the System.keychain?
As I have iCloud Keychain switched on, is there any benefit in importing the System.keycahin into 1passwsord?
Any insight much appreciated!
Many thanks in advance.
