Security = separation from iCloud / Safari passwords

Jack,

Thanks for this. I will look into this option. Sorry to keep the conversation running but this has definitely thrown me for a loop since yesterday - there are now three thoughts I'm wrestling with in real time ...

  1. What would I lose in terms of user experience/functionality on Mac/iOS/iPadOS devices by having 1PWD as the single source of truth for passwords on my devices? I've never given that any thought to this point...had assumed I could just keep using iCloud/Safari/keychain for lesser passwords.

  2. If I DO then go to 1PWD only - *exactly how should I set all my settings on my devices so that I get this right and iCloud/Safari/keychain is turned off entirely? (BTW - sorry to be slightly whiney, but this guidance might have been helpful to 1PWD users from the 1PWD team at the outset.)

  3. If I DO NOT, how do I get my 1PWD passwords intoiCloud/Safari/keychain to let that be my primary password owner (while finding a local device only solution for my more secure items) - can I use MrC to achieve this?

Appreciate the attention you're giving this - thanks.
