I’m entirely in the Apple ecosystem, so I use the built in Keychain, synced across devices through iCloud.
It would be Bitwarden otherwise.
I recently got my first Apple product in about 10 years or so and I’ve been using BitWarden on all my other devices, but it’s not quite as convenient on this iPad. Is the built-in Keychain good and secure? Like I said, I’ve just been out of the Apple ecosystem for a long time.
Maybe you already know this, but you can set Bitwarden as your default password manager in iOS. It works perfectly for me, filling in username and password automatically when I click on a password/username field.
No, I did not know that, but now I do! I'll see if it works more like I want it to now haha. Thanks!
@bleuy007 I've found BitWarden to be fairly convenient on iPad. I can't imagine Keychain would be any more convenient than changing the default password autofill to use BitWarden.
@chika @HeartyBeast
true, besides generating passwords
Yeah, I’m also a recent iPad Pro user. Last Apple product I bought was an iPod Video back in 2005.
Apple’s Keychain is just like BitWarden but is obviously much, much better integrated than BitWarden on an iDevice. It also has some neat options to suggest you different kinds of secure-passwords and it alerts you when one of them has been leaked. As far as it being secure, I’m know nothing about data security, but all the mumbojumbo on their tech specs sounds secure enough to me.
