Passwords 4+

I love this new password app on my iPhone. It’s particularly convenient to be able to select which passwords I want to share with others. My frustration is the difficulty I have changing my compromised, old passwords on the 100’s of sites I use. I have to go back and forth from the app to the web page clicking on things, inputting old passwords, hopping I get it r right so the app will generate a strong password for me. It can take a lot of effort, mostly due to the web site side of this equation. It would be brilliant if this could somehow be streamlined so I could change all my passwords quickly and easily in one fell swop. That appears to be a bridge too far still. So I slowly go back and forth between the password app and the 100’s of sites I have changing each one at a time. Say, 5-10 minutes per site password change, I’m looking at weeks to get them all done. Life will be easier then.

Love the look and feel of the app, as always from Apple. The feature set is pretty solid too for a first version. Passkeys, sharing, OAUTH codes, and security warnings are awesome. I currently use and pay for nordpass, but this application is tempting me to end that. There are a few features that would be nice to see that nordpass currently has. For example, I can keep certain passwords in folders, which yes there is a shared folder option but I don't necessarily want to share these, just organize them. Another nice feature would be being able to save credit cards, and other personally identifiable info like passports or whatever. I know that leaks over into the "Wallet" app but those features aren't quite there. Maybe they can be integrated into that application instead. Secure notes would be nice as well but that's already taken care of by "Notes", just a different app that I will have to navigate to, not a big deal. A password generator built into the iOS version would be nice as well, I see it's on Mac already in a simple way. Would be cool to see that built better for more customization of the password.

I personally don’t like it and here’s why. When you store a password in the old password it kept it in the same place and now if you are on the internet on a website and your trying to login and you hit the key it will take you to the passwords that it thinks is the password that you need and it won’t even be in the place that it takes you to and if you look at the top of the password it says in small writing that if you’re password isn’t there you have to click on it and then it takes you to the password app that has all of your passwords in it. I don’t understand why when you click the password option it should take you to the passwords app but it doesn’t do that and it is really inconvenient.
