Vratislav Holub Apple often boasts about the overall security of its operating systems. A number of different functions help them to do this, among which we can clearly include the native password manager, i.e. Keychain on iCloud, which can be used to store login data, passwords, secure notes, certificates and more. These are subsequently protected from external influences and without the main password (user account) we simply cannot access them. Although this solution is simple, fast and more than sufficient, many people still rely on alternative solutions such as 1Password or LastPass.

Flying around the world with Apple It is the 1Password program that has now received a fairly major update, when it comes in the eighth version of 1Password 8. Specifically, the software has received a fairly major design change, which should now be more consistent with the appearance of the macOS 12 Monterey operating system. But this may not be such a fundamental news for someone. There is also a very interesting feature called Universal Autofill. With its help, this password manager can automatically fill in passwords even in applications, which was not possible until now. So far, autofill has only applied to the browser, which is also the case with the native Keychain. The program thus comes a little ahead of the aforementioned Keychain on iCloud and will make it significantly easier to use.
Is the native Keychain starting to fall behind?
Therefore, many users began to ask themselves an interesting question, i.e. is the native Keychain on iCloud starting to fall behind? In a way, we can say rather not. Regardless of the competition, it is a safe, fast and high-quality solution, which is also available completely free of charge as part of Apple's operating systems. On the other hand, here we have the mentioned software 1Password. It, like the other alternatives, is paid and is based on a subscription mode, where you have to pay for it either monthly or annually. In this direction, Klíčenka is clearly ahead. Instead of giving over a thousand crowns a year, you just need to use a native free solution.
How to activate Keychain on iPhone
The competition mainly benefits from the fact that it works cross-platform and is therefore not limited to Apple's OS, which can be a big obstacle for some. It's no secret that Apple tries to more or less lock Apple users into its own ecosystem to make it harder for them to get out - after all, this way it ensures that it doesn't experience a sharp outflow of users and it's in its interest to keep its users as much as possible. the closest. But what if someone works with multiple platforms, such as an iPhone and a Windows PC? Then they either have to allow for imperfections or bet on a competing password manager.
Universal Autofill
But let's go back to the mentioned novelty called Universal Autofill, with the help of which 1Password 8 can fill in passwords not only in the browser, but also directly in applications. The usefulness of this news cannot be denied. As we mentioned above, the native Keychain does not have this option unfortunately, which is definitely a shame. On the other hand, Apple could be inspired by this change and enrich it with its own solution. Considering the resources of the apple giant, it will certainly not be an unrealistic task.

I don't know, but on iOS/iPADOS, the keychain can add passwords to applications as well.
Exactly, but only for some, it depends on how the developer managed it. But it works more than well. And then the file from 1Password switched to mandatory subscriptions, so I will look for an alternative, since I have to use Win for work. Skoda, I have purchased a license, but I simply do not take a subscription for this type of SW.
https://pwsafe.org/ I use on Windows, iPhone, Android. The file is stored in a synchronized Box.com folder on all devices.
Yes, it's called on ios https://apps.apple.com/cz/app/strongbox-keepass-pwsafe/id897283731?l=cs
That's right, the ios keychain can fill in the login in some applications... it probably depends on how much the application programmer stuck to the supported login elements so that ios can recognize it...
What the?
