[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1931926, member: 204485"] Valid point Patrick, I did quite a bit of shopping around some 6 years ago trying Dashlane, OnePass, 1Password ect. but eventually settled on Enpass. Why? Because at that time it was the only Password Manager (PM) that did not store my passwords on their data base. Everything I store is kept locally on my device. At first I had just the macOS version, later I added the iOS version. They are synced via an encrypted file saved in iCloud. The other big factor is the macOS version was a one off purchase, no subscription fees and the iOS versions were free. BUT, having given Enpass a bit of a wrap I have to add that Apple's Keychain has come a long way since then. Originally a bit confronting and complex Apple have now added a utility to Settings simply called Passwords which makes it laughably easy to access all of your Apple passwords. So when you go to, eg. a new web site and Apple offers to create a "Secure Password" for autofill in the future you can confidently say "yes" because if you ever need to find it it will be in the Password Utility. In iOS Passwords is on the first page of Settings and requires your biometric input to access it. You can even use Shortcuts to put it on your homepage as an icon, just like an App, for easy access. See lower left corner of my screenshot below.
