Switching password managers in 2026
A new iOS transfer mechanism lets users move passwords, passkeys, verification codes, notes, and more directly between supported password managers without deleting the source vault. The author demonstrates moving 1Password data into Apple Passwords and notes that several other managers participate.
The portability improvement is useful, but the trade-offs are real: Apple’s passkey access depends on approved browser entitlements, and commenters called out Linux/alternate-browser limitations and the appeal of KeePassXC, pass, or Vaultwarden. The author writes personally, not on behalf of Apple.
