Also got a break glass / fracture feature for say when the worst happens to me or to me wife such that we can access each others accounts and deal with situations without ordinarily having to share and sync passwords. For example for our family we've got shared vault for streaming services that don't allow multiple individual accounts. For a family unit, or even work, there are also options. Also multi-factor authentication integration of TOTP codes has been there for a long long time. I can use it on as good as any device and browser that I want. One of the main things they have of iCloud/Keychain (talking about 1Password here) is multi-platform access. This wasn't the first time either for Lastpass being hacked. Sure the service is the same but the way the product and service is architected and the companies run is very very different. It may not be so for others.Ĭlick to expand.I would not put Lastpass in the same group as 1Password. So this is "simple and secure" enough for us. Robbery and burglary are not high risks where and how we live. Plus having "find my" active on all devices. In our case it is "safe enough" to use unique passwords (> 200) and 2FA in all situations where a credit card or other access to money are involved. I also think that we should give a thought to what the real security issues are in our local situation. I think that we can trust Apple just as much or more than the non-Apple solutions. We move to Apple apps whenever that is a possibility for that reason. Simplicity is important in my 2 person home as the elderly non-IT wife uses several of our computers (like identical iMacs on two floors). Now I only use Apple Keychain and Locked Apple Notes as they now also can synchronize to iPhone/iPad. And 1Password was able to do that to iPhone/iPad while Apple Keychain was not. Because I stored documents and needed those documents to sync between devices. I used 1Password for years on our iPhones, Macs and iPads. 1Password is relatively inexpensive so I don't object to subscribing, I just want something simple and secure. Just trying to figure out the best protocol and where to put everything. assuming I don't use the system password to protect notes which a lot of folks will likely do. I guess I can see that password protecting individual files in Notes does the same thing, adds an extra layer. 1Password does have the advantage of being secure within the system in that I need a password to open it so someone who got into my MacBook would need the 1Password master password. I started to shift to password protected notes in Notes.Īm I correct in assuming that the need for password protecting notes (in Apple Notes) is no longer necessary (for protection from cloud intrusion, which says nothing about folks with access to my laptop) ? Everything will be encrypted so it makes no sense in encrypting a note that will get end to end to end encryption ?Īlso, if I wanted to use a combination of Keychain and Apple Notes, is that effectively equally secure as 1Password in that both systems use e2e and only I have the keys. I want to consolidate and make storing sensitive documents, data and passwords more simple. I use an encrypted disk that I put files and folders into and I also use 1Password for some files and notes.
