Keepass mac alternative4/1/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Knowing what I know now, it probably would have been exactly the same for me. I believe LastPass is similarly unrestricted when it comes to device counts, but it does not have native desktop clients, which is why I passed up on it. That being said, there are valid use cases, such as web developers who may prefer to use a single native client along with multiple browsers and/or CLIs, or people who can't or won't install browser plugins for whatever reason. I started out using it, but the browser plugins are so convenient, I uninstalled the native client. In retrospect, I way overestimated the need for a desktop client. To be clear, many offer free mobile apps, but either charge for or lack altogether desktop clients. Personally, I chose Bitwarden because I wanted a free option without device limits, but also native clients in case I didn't want to go through a browser, and Bitwarden was the only reputable option I could find that had both of those features for free. At the very least, I would suggest something cross-platform like Chrome or Firefox, but those are still just web browsers that save web site credentials only. Maybe I'm just unlucky and others have had no issues, but when I add my experiences on top of the fact that it's Apple-only, I just think it's a terrible idea to use Apple as a general password manager. After about a week, I got sick of the prompts, so I let it do whatever it wanted, but that somehow erased certain certificates from my employer, and so I lost access to certain services and had to get someone from IT to sort it out. The weird thing is I kept clicking Cancel whenever the prompt came up, and things mostly seemed to work fine, but I had issues with certain accounts not being remembered. My experience with Apple is quite limited, but I do use a company-issued laptop at my current job, and I had a major issue where an update corrupted the keychain or something (admittedly, the notification messages about it were super confusing), and I ultimately had to delete/reset it. It may just be my social circle, but literally every Apple device owner I know (close to a dozen of them) has forgotten their Apple ID at least once, and it's a royal pain trying to recover them. ![]() Admittedly, this may be a bit silly, but anecdotally, in my personal experience, Apple products/accounts are the absolute worst when it comes to people remembering passwords and/or otherwise losing access. ![]()
