Use Apple keychain and 1 Password simultaneously?

Just started using Apple keychain, may discontinue. But it is pretty slick. Have used 1Password for years, and will continue to do so. Can I have both active on the same machine?

    I do as some sites work better with Apple Keychain, and some don't so I use 1Password
    I suppose you have to try all your regaular sites if they work properly with either ones

    Hello @DrJoeC! 👋

    Thanks for the question! While it's technically possible to use both iCloud Keychain and 1Password on the same device, I don't recommend it. Using multiple password managers at the same time usually leads to items being saved or updated in different places which can cause confusion. You may also run into issues where the prompts or buttons of one password manager overlap with those of the other.

    The general recommendation is to turn off the built-in password manager (such as iCloud Keychain) when you're using 1Password: Turn off the built-in password manager in your browser

    I hope that helps. 🙂
