I don't mind paying for quality software, which I considered 1Password v7 to be. However, their recent v8 launch has soured me on the company pretty severely. The macOS app is a pretty dramatic downstep and their focus on a browser extension over a system/menubar app is frustrating to say the least.

I don't know if Apple Passwords will be a perfect fit for me, I'm hoping someone shares a deep dive on the product soon because I'm not in a position to use the beta, but I'm happy to see some more competition in the space.

What’s the problem with it exactly?

I’m using it on iPad, macOS, iOS and windows 10 and 11. Seems per much the same as it’s always been.

I’ve got the family using it too.

Just curious what issues other people are experiencing.

I have the app open in front of me but haven’t used it much. It’s basically the Passwords pane from System Settings ripped out and with some new fixed smart categories. If that’s enough for you, so will the app be. If not, not.

I agree with you. V7 was good enough that I’d have paid for it over using Apple. But v8 has had me looking for an alternative anyway.

…but v8 is perfectly fine! I remember a lot of buzz about v8 being slow “because it’s electron” but it’s not slow. I use it on multiple laptops without any issues at all.
