[QUOTE="cbwerner, post: 1851627, member: 82877"] (Not sure I'm in the right section, but if I'm not, please move and let me know. :)) I just got a new MacBook Pro and (as I am won't to do) orphaned my 1Password software and now have to decide whether to subscribe or just use Safari's native password management features. Most, but not all, of what I have in 1Password is web logins, but I also have some software keys and other things that I need a secure place for. I am worn down with everyone wanting you to subscribe (I just want to buy - the "upgrades" are almost always just clutter for me), but alas there are few options, and those that exist are hard to analyze since the reviewers want everything to have all the bells and whistles. If I subscribe to something, I'm leaning towards Keeper. But I have a couple of questions. [LIST=1]Are Keeper/1Password/DashLane/etc any more secure for web logins than Safari's password management? Are there reasons other than "everything in one place" for using a 3rd party app? [LIST=2]I really need my solution to be cross platform between MacOS and iOS/iPadOS. If using Safari for web stuff and an app for non-web stuff is a thing, what are some good and trustworthy apps? [/LIST] Thanks in advance for the help. Chris[/LIST] [/QUOTE]
