[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1851640, member: 396914"] I use both 1Password and the native macOS password system that Safari uses. I can't speak to security for either of them, but both use some form of encryption and a password to protect access. For cross platform access, the third party works better for me. I sync 1Password from my Mac through iCloud to my iPhone and iPad so that I have the same data on all three. Safari also syncs through iCloud so that the same passwords are supposed to be available on my iDevices, but I have noted that it isn't as smooth as 1Password. And for some reason when I log into this board on my iDevices, I get rejected the first time, then get in on the second, mostly. I also get a report that the passwords in Keychain and Safari are different, although they are the same on my Mac. Don't know what is going on with that, but 1Password keeps the same. I also use 1Password for some software registration information and keys, like you, and it syncs across all my devices for me so I have it when and where I need it. You will probably hear from folks who use Dashlane/whatever/whatever all of whom are convinced that their choice is "best." I don't know what is best, and pretty much I don't care. 1Password works for me just fine and I've had it for a long time, so I'm not going to change unless driven to it. [/QUOTE]
