@rmondello 1password7 on my iPhone doesn’t have an export option in Settings->Advanced. Not sure how to get the old passwords out…

@rmondello also, thanks for that last section. Well done you!

@rmondello thank you Ricky! Who would have thought that I am now, in the nick of time, motivated to update to iOS 26!

@rmondello Thank you so much!

@rmondello great post, thanks! I am considering this move for my family. How does Apple passwords handle one-time passwords that update every ten seconds?

@rmondello Thank you for the writeup. I have one question:

> Nobody should feel locked into their password manager. :)

Is there an option to migrate to self hosted FOSS with a Linux client?

@rmondello Thank you, Ricky, for this post and insight. Great write up.
I was an early adopter of 1Password, like 2.x. I hated the way they were going and the loss of native iOS and Mac apps settled it. I was on Bitwarden for a while, then switched when Apple released Passwords. I use Uplock and Notes secured with a different password than my Apple Account (ID). However, like you, I still have an old version of 1Password hanging around.

@rmondello Thanks for this post. How are duplicates handled when importing to Passwords? I have quite a few credentials that exist in both 1P and in Passwords

@rmondello Thank you for publishing this. I will probably use it soon.

As I emailed 1Password, I’m giving it another week, then switching over to Apple Passwords. Would rather not patronize a business that gives DHH money.

@rmondello I've mostly switched over from 1password 7 installs, just some secure notes/text fields didn't seem to make it over from whatever export file format I outputted from 1password

Now I just have to sit down and either use iCloud for windows for my windows firefox usage at work, or maybe figure out a way to regularly sync the work entries from Apple Passwords to Firefox's password manager....

@rmondello I signed up for a year of NordPass and then was immediately blocked from using with work machines due to security policy. NO VPNs. Which is enforced by blocking the authentication websites for VPN services. NordVPN uses the same authentication site for NordPass so blocked. I was advised to use s service that did not offer a VPN service as well 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

@rmondello Talking about features, also of other PW managers: 1. There’s an iOS feature that forces FaceID or TouchID for some access on stolen devices, disabling the device code. Does this extend to the Apple Passwords app? 2. Any chance of getting attachments on a list of possible features? That’s the one reason I use an extra local non-synced keepass db for some secret information.

@rmondello

Thank you for this!

I was delaying and thinking too hard about how to transfer.

I had no idea. But this really did make it easy and indeed covered passkeys too.

Thanks as well for your work making this possible and for sharing your thoughts. Technology, just as society, isn’t morally neutral, agree. (Hence, why I’m interested in this.)

@rmondello this is wonderful; thank you!

I have started the migration away from 1Password to Apple Password. This should fine in the interim.

The two things that isI don’t necessary like are that, 1.) the idea of the password manager updates tied to OS updates; to me that is a coupling that does not make sense. And 2.) Apple Password is bad at cross browser (Safari is not my primary browser) and platform interoperability.

Again, not really a deal breaker in the short term; but more than likely I will be looking at another migration to something that works better cross platform and cross browser.
