Why does an Apple fanboy like me need 1Password for Passkeys?

Hello Tangible409! 👋

Good question! I'd start by recommending that, whichever password manager you choose, you keep your passkeys and passwords in the same place. There are two big reasons:

1. Most websites typically don't allow you to fully replace your existing passwords with a passkey, they'll allow you to use either. This means that you'll want to hang on to your passwords for now and managing two different records, one containing passwords and the other a passkey, for the same website in two different managers will just give you a headache.
2. Keeping credentials for websites split across two different password managers is confusing. It's better to keep everything in one place, whether you're logging in with a password, passkey, sign-in with, SSO, or some other method. Keeping website A in iCloud Keychain and website B in 1Password will soon become frustrating.

1Password fully supports passkeys and once you save a passkey in 1Password it'll be available on all of your devices.

I'm obviously biased but, as a fellow Apple fan, I use 1Password over iCloud Keychain in my personal life for a few reasons:

• All items are protected using end-to-end encryption using your account password and Secret Key. This dual-key encryption protects data even if 1Password is breached and this architecture is unique in the industry: About the 1Password security model
• Amazing dedicated apps for both macOS and iOS that provide powerful editing and search tools: * Search in the 1Password app to find what you need * Get to know Quick Access
• You can store all of your most important data in 1Password: passkeys, passwords, sign-in with providers, driver licenses, passports, medical and vaccine information, notes, etc...
• You can share items with your entire family, even if they're not using Apple devices themselves: Share passwords with your family
• Share items even with people not using 1Password: Securely share 1Password items with anyone
• And, if you ever do decide to use a non-Apple device, you'll have access to all of your items there without having to migrate.

I hope that helps!
