Move your icloud passwords from safari to 1password.

To export your iCloud Passwords, you’ll need a Mac with Safari 15 or later. You can’t export iCloud Passwords using Windows at this time.

1Password can import your iCloud Passwords from Safari on your Mac. When you import iCloud Passwords:

  • Your iCloud Passwords will be converted into 1Password Login items.
  • Only passwords will be imported. Credit cards, addresses, and other information won’t be imported.

Step 1: Export your iCloud Passwords on your Mac

Before you export your iCloud Passwords, temporarily turn off any backup software you may be using, so the unencrypted export file isn’t backed up.

To export your data from Safari, follow these steps on your Mac:

  • Open Safari and choose File > Export > Passwords from the menu bar.
  • Click Export Passwords .
  • Save the Passwords.csv file to your desktop and enter the password you use to log in to your Mac.

Step 2: Import your data into 1Password

To import your data on 1Password.com:

  • In Safari or another browser, sign in to your account on 1Password.com.
  • Click your name in the top right and choose Import .
  • Click iCloud Passwords .
  • Choose the vault you want to import your data into. If you’re importing data you don’t want to share with other people, choose the Personal , Private , or Employee vault. The name of this vault varies depending on your account type.
  • Click inside the dotted rectangle to open a file browser. Browse to your desktop and select the CSV file you created earlier.
  • Click Import , then click Show Imported Items .

If you want to change anything about the import, like importing the data into a different vault, click Undo Import and start again.

If you have any credit cards, addresses, or other information saved in Safari, copy them manually into 1Password. Open 1Password on your computer or mobile device and click the button to add items.

After you’ve imported your information into 1Password, delete the unencrypted CSV file, then turn on any backup software you turned off earlier.

Step 3: Turn off the built-in password manager in Safari

To prevent Safari from interfering with 1Password, make sure you have the 1Password browser extension installed , then turn off the built-in password manager in Safari .

Step 4: Delete your iCloud Passwords

Safari will continue to fill saved passwords even after you turn off the built-in password manager. To fill your passwords with 1Password instead of Safari, delete your saved iCloud Passwords.

Following these steps will permanently delete your iCloud Passwords, and you won’t be able to recover them. Make sure all your iCloud Passwords are saved in 1Password before you delete them.

To delete your iCloud Passwords, follow these steps on your Mac:

  • Open Safari and choose Safari > Settings from the menu bar.
  • Click the Passwords icon, then enter the password you use to log in to your Mac.
  • Select a password you want to delete. To delete all your passwords, choose Edit > Select All from the menu bar (or press Command-A).

If you don’t see your iCloud Passwords in Safari on your Mac, learn how to sync your iCloud Passwords in Safari on your iOS device with your Mac , so you can move them to 1Password.

Reasons to make the leap from iCloud Keychain to 1Password

Tips & advice.

Apple’s iCloud Keychain is a password manager built right into the iPhone, iPad, and Mac. And, thanks to a Chrome extension , it now works with Windows PCs, too. We support any tool that helps you keep your passwords safe from would-be hackers, including iCloud Keychain. But if you want to get serious about protecting your personal information, there are a few reasons why you should choose 1Password instead.

iCloud Keychain vs 1Password

Icloud keychain vs 1password business, switch to 1password.

1Password is available on every major platform. That includes Mac, iOS, Windows, Android, Linux, and Chrome OS. Sure, iCloud Keychain works with Chrome on Windows. But what about Firefox? With 1Password, you get a robust Windows app and a password manager that works in any browser. You can even sign in and access your information at 1Password.com . If you own a variety of devices – maybe you have a personal Android phone and a work MacBook – you always have access to your passwords whenever you need them.

It works with your Apple Watch. Sometimes you want to leave your phone tucked away in a bag or pocket. With the Apple Watch, you can look up sensitive information , like a Wi-Fi password or credit card number, right from your wrist. The wearable can also unlock 1Password for Mac — no need to type in your Master Password or reach for the Touch ID button on your MacBook.

1Password is always convenient. Plowing through a to-do list that involves multiple websites? We don’t want to get in your way. With 1Password in the browser, you can generate and autofill passwords without opening the desktop app. It has a built-in search bar, too, as well as the option to edit and create new items. That means you can be productive without sacrificing any strong security habits.

One-time passwords when you need them. Many services offer a second layer of protection called two-factor authentication (2FA). These special codes can be picked up via text message, which isn’t very secure, or a dedicated app like Authy and Google Authenticator, which aren’t always convenient. Enter 1Password. Our service can scan the QR codes that are required to set up 2FA. We’ll then act as your chosen authenticator app and autofill one-time passwords whenever you need them.

Keeping your financial information secure. Like iCloud Keychain, you can keep your debit and credit card information stored in 1Password. But thanks to a partnership with Privacy , we’re also able to offer virtual payment cards in the U.S. So if a service you use was ever breached – and heaven forbid, exposed card details – no one would have access to your hard-earned money.

1Password is for all the family. Sometimes you need to share a password. You might have replaced the router in your living room, or signed up for a streaming service like Disney+. Sure, you could text everyone the new password. But what happens when a family member buys a new phone tablet or PC? The inevitable question: “What’s the Wi-Fi password again?” You can avoid all of this with a shared vault in 1Password. Keep everything your family needs in one place – with credentials that are always up to date – while maintaining privacy with your own personal vault. Bliss.

More than just passwords. Unlike iCloud Keychain, 1Password isn’t limited to passwords, credit cards, and digital sticky notes. Our service gives you dedicated options for storing your passport information, Social Security number, reward schemes, and more. You can then find these in a flash using the Categories section inside 1Password.

1Password is the right choice for businesses of any size. Here’s why:

1Password is built with teams in mind. 1Password’s shared vaults aren’t just for families. With 1Password Teams and 1Password Business, you can share passwords, credit cards, and important documents with all of your colleagues. No more insecure and out-of-date spreadsheets. Employees can be invited via email or Slack, and if you need to work with someone outside your company – a client or contractor, perhaps – you can give them a guest account. To top it all off, there are administrator tools to ensure that sensitive information is kept on a need-to-know basis.

Protection that extends to the home. Every employee using 1Password Business also gets a free 1Password Families membership. That means you get two separate accounts, each with their own set of vaults, to keep you safe online, both inside and outside of work. It’s a great way to ensure that everyone in the office is familiar with 1Password and using features that will make your life easier, such as shared vaults. 1Password Families also means that everyone you love can create an account and start strengthening their own passwords.

Watchtower has your back. Watchtower lets you know if you’ve reused any passwords and when any of your credentials have appeared in known data breaches. Apple’s iCloud Keychain offers something similar called Security Recommendations . 1Password goes a step further, however, with domain breach reports for 1Password Teams and 1Password Business. These let you know if anyone with a company email address has been affected by a known breach.

There’s nothing wrong with iCloud Keychain. It’s just a little basic. If you feel like you’ve outgrown the service, you’re not alone. 1Password is for people who want to store more than passwords, credit cards, and sticky notes. It’s also for people who want an easy and secure way to share login information with their family or team. If you’re one of those people, consider making the switch to a 1Password membership. You won’t regret it.

App comparisons

iCloud Keychain vs. 1Password: Which is best? [2024]

Hero image with the iCloud Keychain and 1Password logos

Well, first off, this is only a choice for Apple users. If you use Windows or Android devices, you're better off checking out another of the best password managers . Both 1Password and iCloud Keychain are on that list, as well as great cross-platform options like Dashlane and Bitwarden . Still, for Apple users, it often is a choice between using iCloud Keychain (your iPhone and Mac's built-in password manager) or paying for 1Password's premium service. If that's the decision you're trying to make, let me break things down for you. 

iCloud Keychain vs. 1Password at a glance

iCloud Keychain and 1Password both have a lot going for them. Here's a quick comparison, or read on for a detailed breakdown.

Both iCloud Keychain and 1Password are way better than not using a password manager

Before diving into the head-to-head between iCloud Keychain and 1Password, let's have a quick look at what using them is like, and how it compares to not having a password manager. 

Both iCloud Keychain and 1Password hit all the bases you could want in a password manager. And, assuming you have them set up with the relevant browser and smartphone extensions installed, using either of them should be absolutely seamless. Instead of having to remember your login details, everything will be taken care of automatically. 

Showing easy login using iCloud Keychain

When you go to log in to an account, you'll have to confirm your identity with a password, your fingerprint, or face unlock, and your login details will be automatically filled—including two-factor authentication codes, if you've added them to your app of choice. 

Logging in to Instagram using 1Password

When you create a new account, both iCloud Keychain and 1Password will generate a secure, random password for you and save it. You don't have to worry about remembering it: it's kept safe in your secure vault. Best of all, this experience is universal. With both services, all your logins sync between your devices. If you create an account on a Mac, you can log in to the app on your iPhone a few moments later. 

Sure, there are a few small workflow differences like the desktop versions of 1Password using a keyboard shortcut instead of just filling your logins by default, but the process really is as seamless as I've described it. Take a moment and think how this compares to not having a password manager. 

Both apps are a lot better than nothing.

Both apps are very secure

Of course, all this only works if your password manager actually keeps your passwords safe ( looking at you, LastPass ). The good news is both iCloud Keychain and 1Password are incredibly secure and have never had a meaningful data breach.

Apple takes security extremely seriously . Without diving too deep into the specifics, iCloud Keychain encrypts and stores your passwords in such a way that they're only accessible to you, from trusted devices. No one at Apple can look through your passwords, they aren't stored in plain text somewhere on your iPhone, and they're as locked away as current industry standard encryption allows them to be. Of course, if someone has access to your iPhone or hits you with a wrench until you tell them your password , your login details may not be safe—but the same is true of almost every password manager.

1Password is similarly secure . Your account data is encrypted with both a master password and a secret key. Most of the time, you just need your master password to unlock your vault. You only need to enter the secret key when you're setting up a new device, which can be a bit inconvenient. Still, it means that even if a hacker stole your data from 1Password, they couldn't unlock your vault—even if they also knew your master password.

The 1Password emergency kit

All this is to say, unless you're an incredibly high-profile figure who's targeted by state-supported hackers, you probably don't need to worry if iCloud Keychain or 1Password is marginally more secure. If you use them as intended, they both have your logins locked down tight.

iCloud Keychain works best with Apple devices

While the basics are much the same, there are still plenty of differences between iCloud Keychain and 1Password. One of the most important is cross-device compatibility. 

iCloud Keychain on a Mac

To make the most of iCloud Keychain, you need to stay playing in Apple's walled garden. iCloud Keychain comes built in on Macs, iPhones, and iPads—it's essentially part of the operating system. On macOS, you can use it with Safari or Google Chrome . On your iPhone and iPad, it works with your browser and can also fill in passwords in any app. 

There is an iCloud for Windows app that enables you to access your passwords on a PC, and with the browser extensions, use it with Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge, but the whole experience feels like more of a workaround. If you have an Android phone, you're out of luck. 

1Password, however, is available everywhere. There are Windows, Mac, and Linux desktop apps, extensions for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge, and iOS and Android apps. It doesn't matter if you use a Linux desktop at work, an Android smartphone out and about, and an iPad at home—you'll have essentially the same experience everywhere. 

1Password on a Mac

If you're all in on Apple devices, then you really do have a choice. iCloud Keychain works great, and it's available where you need it. But if you have an old Windows PC that you use from time to time, or an Android smartphone that you need for work, 1Password is the better option. 

The whole point of password managers is that they let you use really long, awkward passwords without having to type them; it gets really annoying if you regularly need to look up a password on your iPhone, so you can type it into your Android smartphone.

1Password gives you more control

When it comes to logging in to your accounts, both iCloud Keychain and 1Password are pretty interchangeable. But overall, 1Password gives you a bit more control over your password security, even though both apps have a lot of the same extra features.

Creating a password in 1Password

The biggest difference is that 1Password offers actual apps. They're really nice, and they allow you to browse your passwords, securely store other important information, like credit cards and ID documents, and generally just manage your passwords as you see fit. You can have multiple vaults with passwords for different things, you can share vaults and individual passwords, and the Watchtower will even tell you if you've got any insecure, leaked, or duplicate passwords that need updating. 

Watchtower in 1Password

When you're generating a new password, you can set specific options, like how many characters it is, whether you want to use numbers, symbols, or even words, and if you are using words, what the character that separates them is.

iCloud Keychain actually does much the same, but it's all a bit weirder and more awkward. Your passwords are managed through the System Settings app on Mac and Settings on mobile devices. 

Here, you can scroll through a list of all your passwords, see any insecure ones with security recommendations, and even share certain passwords with friends and family—but it's all tucked away in a preferences pane. It's just weird, and it doesn't encourage you to take control over your password security.

Similarly, when you're creating a new password, you can click or tap Other Options to edit the suggested password, get a new one, get one with numbers and letters, or get one that's easier to type.

iCloud Keychain settings

But I'll be honest, despite using iCloud Keychain for years, I only found out about these settings while doing a deep dive on it for the articles I write here at Zapier. It just wasn't obvious to me as a regular user.

Both apps support passkeys

As you've probably picked up on by now, passwords are a poor way of securing accounts. An industry group called the FIDO Alliance—made up of companies like Apple, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, 1Password, Dashlane, American Express, Intel, Mastercard, Meta, PayPal, Samsung, Visa, and lots more —has developed an alternative called passkeys, which use public-key cryptography to keep your logins safe. Passkeys are much better than passwords , though they are still very much rolling out. 

iCloud Keychain supports passkeys right now, and they're in beta with 1Password. If you want to test them out, check out the demo site at Passkeys.io . Unfortunately, because they're not widely supported everywhere yet, this isn't a major win for either service. iCloud's integration is a little more mature, so if you're a passkey early adopter, it may be the better choice, but 1Password's integration works too if you want to try them out. 

iCloud Keychain is free—1Password isn't

While I've been trying to compare iCloud Keychain and 1Password as objectively as possible, there's one major elephant in the room we haven't looked at: iCloud Keychain is free.

1Password costs $36/year for a Personal account or $60/year for a Families plan with up to five accounts; there's no free option unless you're a journalist or politician .

The 1Password pricing page

If you want total control over your passwords, I feel 1Password is worth the money. But it's impossible to argue that iCloud Keychain doesn't offer much the same security—at least on Apple devices.

1Password vs. iCloud Keychain: Which should you choose?

Both iCloud Keychain and 1Password are secure password managers that make your life easier and your accounts safer. Really, if you only use Apple devices, iCloud Keychain does more than enough and is a super solid default choice (especially since it's free). But if you want more control over your account security and cross-platform support, then 1Password is the best bet, as long as you're prepared to pay.

Moving from 1Password to iCloud Keychain

November 21, 2021

In this post, I will detail how I moved my data out of 1Password and into iCloud Keychain and use the new Passwords preference pane introduced in macOS Monterey . I have only recently switched from 1Password to iCloud Keychain so this post will not dive into the pros and cons of the two.

Let me start by saying that I've been a happy user of 1Password for many years and I still am. My motivation for moving from 1Password to iCloud Keychain is solely to see how Apple is tackling the problem of making a password manager and how they are integrating it into macOS, iOS, and iPadOS.

Screenshot of the Passwords system preference pane

I have been using 1Password to store five types of secrets:

  • Username, passwords and, a two-factor authentication code wherever possible.
  • My credit card information.
  • Backup codes for services that support two-factor authentication.
  • Passwords that aren't used on a website. For example, the pin code for my suitcase.
  • Software licenses.

As I was moving usernames, passwords and two-factor authentication codes to iCloud Keychain, I took the opportunity to reconsider where I could store my other data as well. Deciding where to store my credit card information was easy because iCloud Keychain has support for credit cards . I added my credit cards to iCloud Keychain from Settings -> Safari -> AutoFill on my iPhone. This can also be done through preferences in Safari on the Mac.

The hardest part was figuring out where to store my backup codes. I don't want to lose those and I don't want anyone else to get their hands on them either. I asked for recommendations on Twitter .

A few people recommended storing the backup codes in iCloud Keychain. This guide from Apple details how to store notes securely in iCloud Keychain. Storing the backup codes in iCloud Keychain sounds like a good idea at first since I would already use iCloud Keychain to store usernames, passwords, and credit cards. However, notes stored in iCloud Keychain aren't accessible on iOS and iPadOS. I didn't want to adopt a solution that wasn't available on all the platforms I use regularly.

Others recommended storing the backup codes in a locked note inside Apple's Notes app. These notes are synchronized over iCloud, end-to-end encrypted using a password, and can be opened on the Mac, iPhone, and iPad. They're a lot like notes stored in 1Password and perfect for my needs. They're also perfect for storing software licenses and passwords that aren't used on a website. I only had 25 notes with backup codes, 12 passwords, and a handful of software licenses stored in 1Password. It was trivial to move those into Notes by hand.

Screenshot of a locked note stored in Apple Notes

With that, I had a plan for where I would store all my data.

Now I could move on to moving usernames and passwords from 1Password to iCloud Keychain. I had roughly 300 usernames and passwords to move and didn't want to do that by hand. Fortunately 1Password supports exporting items in a format that can be imported into iCloud Keychain. There were still a few manual steps needed to get the import to work properly though. At a high level the steps are:

  • Ensure all items in 1Password have a valid website address.
  • Export items from 1Password as a CSV file.
  • Edit the exported CSV file to get rid of any passwords that contain a quotation mark.
  • Import the edited CSV file into iCloud Keychain using the Passwords preference pane.

Let's dive into these steps one by one.

Ensuring all items in 1Password have a valid website address is necessary in order to import the items. iCloud Keychain will skip any items that do not have a valid website address.

After ensuring all items have a valid website address, they can be exported from 1Password by selecting a single vault and navigating to File -> Export -> All items... . After entering the Master Password the dialog below is presented. It's important to change the file format to "iCloud Keychain (.csv)" before exporting.

Screenshot of the dialog presented when exporting items from 1Password

The exported CSV file is unencrypted, so it's important not to hold onto it for too long.

Before importing the usernames and passwords into iCloud Keychain, I had to modify the exported file and get rid of any items where the password contained a quotation mark ("). I found out the hard way that items with a quotation mark cannot be imported. The Passwords preference pane will not import any items if just a single password contains a quotation mark, possibly because it fails to parse the CSV file. I filed a feedback about this to Apple (FB9773317).

I opened the CSV file in a text editor and searched for \" . Luckily there were only four matches where two of them were in a single password. I took note of which three passwords they were and removed the entries from the CSV file.

Update: As noted by Ricky Mondello on Twitter quotes shouldn't be escaped with \" but with "" in CSV files. That means I could (and should) have just replaced all occurrences of \" with "" instead of removing the entries from the CSV file. I have later verified that would have done the trick.

Screenshot of the Nova text editor used for removing passwords with quotation marks

The CSV file could now be imported into iCloud Keychain from System Preferences -> Passwords by selecting the three dots at the bottom of the window, then "Import Passwords..." and then selecting the CSV file.

After the import succeeded I manually added the three passwords that contained a quotation mark. Update : This wouldn't be necessary if I had just replaced all occurrences of \" with "" .

Screenshot of the dialog presented when importing items into the Passwords system preference pane

That's it. All data my data was now moved out of 1Password and into either iCloud Keychain or locked notes in Apple's Notes app.

The only piece missing in my setup was an easy way to access the Passwords preference pane. I quite liked that 1Password is a separate app that can easily be launched to browse my passwords. That's not the case with a system preference pane. Luckily there's a workaround.

Ricky Mondello shared a shortcut for opening Passwords with a single click. This shortcut works on both macOS, iOS, and iPadOS. After downloading Ricky's shortcut, I wanted to add it to the Applications folder on the Mac so I could easily run it using Alfred . This can be done by opening the shortcut in the Shortcuts app and selecting File -> Add to Dock . This will add the shortcut to both the dock and the Applications folder. The shortcut can be removed from the dock but it will stay in the Applications folder and as such it can be run from Alfred.

iCloud Keychain vs 1Password: Which Password Manager is Better for You

He has over five years of experience and has covered 1,500+ articles on GuidingTech and Android Police. In his free time, you will see him binge-watching Netflix shows, reading books, and traveling.

Both Google and Apple are making it easier than ever to store and manage the complex passwords for you. Google offers Chrome Password manager and a built-in option on Android devices to keep the passwords. Apple also has steadily improved the iCloud Keychain functionalities to make it on par with the often-superior third-party password managers.

Safe 3703193 1920

While we already have compared the iCloud Keychain to LastPass in depth, in this post, we will pit it against another popular alternative called 1Password .

While both the password managers get the basics right, they differ in many aspects such as functionalities, price, cross-platform availability, and more. Let’s jump in for more details.

Cross-Platform Availability

Let’s first talk about the most important parameter while choosing a password manager — cross-platform support. And as expected, the iCloud Keychain is only available on Apple devices such as iPhone and Mac. You can’t access it on Android, PC, or Web.

1Password has covered all the major options such as Android, iOS, PC, and Mac. And if you are using devices from various platforms then stop reading the comparison and go with 1Passwprd.

iCloud Keychain is a part of iOS package that comes with the device and takes up to 14GB of space out of the box. 1Password takes about 109MB of space, which is sufficient enough to download over the mobile data.

Download 1Password for iOS

User Interface

As you might have guessed, Apple has kept it simple with the Keychain. It displays the number of added accounts in the alphabetical view. The major options, such as the ability to search for an item, or adding a new account, are kept uncomfortably at the top.

I Cloud Ui

Swipe right on any account to delete the item. You can tap on an item to see the further details of the website. My only concern with iCloud is that it doesn’t offer a separate app, and you will always have to go to Settings > Password & Accounts to access the details.

1Password Ui

1Password has adopted the bottom bar UI featuring Favorites, Categories, and Settings options. It nicely lays out the accounts in the Login, Identity, Credit Card, and Secure Notes option. You can add to favorite the most used items for easy access from the favorites menu.

Add a New Item

iCloud Keychain comes by default on every iPhone. As you add login data through applications and Safari browser, it automatically gets added to the iCloud servers.

Add New Icloud

You can also manually add a new item by tapping on the ‘+’ icon at the top. It will ask you website name and login info.

1Password will first ask you to choose a template such as a login info, Credit Card, or Secure note. As you select a website to add info, the app will suggest you use the randomly generated complex password. You can either use that or opt for your own password.

Add New 1Password

One can also customize the auto-generated passwords and add notes to it. I wish 1Password would have offered security questions option while adding new info for a website.

Generate Password

The Keychain data is stored on iCloud, and as a result, it has the same security measurements as Apple’s cloud storage service. The service also requires Face ID (if you have set it) whenever you try to access the iCloud data.

Security 1Password

1Password is flexible on that front. You can choose to sync all the data to its servers or opt for the personal Dropbox account to store the data. As always, it requires the biometrics to access the app details.

Auto-Fill Login Info

By default, iCloud works as an auto-fill login service across the apps and websites. And thankfully, with the introduction of iOS 12, the company has added an option to let the third-party password managers access the function.

Autofill 2

The major password managers already support that functionality, and 1Password is no exception here. But first, you will need to change the option from the Settings menu. Simply head to Settings > Passwords & Accounts > Autofill > and select 1Password from the list.

Auto Fill Choice

After that, all the data will be stored with 1Password automatically and you can directly auto-fill the info whenever any website requires them to add.

The highlight of the iCloud Keychain is the convenience. It excellently works in the background and you can even forget its existence. And also, if you are a Mac user, then all the auto-fill functionality applies to macOS as well.

Extras

1Password is offering ton more features compared to the basic iCloud. You can create multiple vaults, add family members to your vault, generate OTP from the app, attach pdf in the entry, has the Apple Watch support, and most importantly, it’s available on all platforms.

But then again, not everything comes with a free tag. Let’s talk about the price.

As you might have guessed, iCloud Keychain data is counted against the iCloud storage, which only comes with 5GB of storage. Once you run out of the space, the premium plans start at $1/month. For 1Password, you will have to shell out $12/year to use at full potential.

Safely Locked in a Vault

As you can see from the above list, 1Password trumps the iCloud Keychain in all areas with ease. But if you are looking for something that works as flawlessly as it could be out of the box, then go with iCloud Keychain.

Next up: LastPass is also an excellent alternative to 1Password. Read the post below to see how it fared against the iCloud Keychain.

1Password is now officially rolling out passkey support for iOS 17 users

Avatar for Filipe Espósito

Earlier this year, 1Password announced its plans to bring passkey support to its iOS app since iOS 17 lets third-party apps store the new passwordless sign-in method. Now that iOS 17 is available to the public, 1Password is rolling out the update with passkey support to iPhone and iPad users.

1Password for iOS now supports passkeys

Passkey is a recently developed technology by the FIDO Alliance in collaboration with major companies like Apple, Google, and Microsoft. Instead of traditional passwords, it enables users to log in using secure methods like facial recognition or biometrics, eliminating the need to create and type a passcode.

Starting with iOS 16, users have been able to create and save passkeys using Safari and iCloud Keychain. Now, with iOS 17, this functionality will be extended to third-party apps. The well-known password manager, 1Password, is one of the first to announce support for passkeys in its iOS app.

“Passkeys are the best form of passwordless authentication that balances security and convenience, and 1Password is committed to enabling all businesses and consumers to embrace them,” said Steve Won, chief product officer of 1Password. “With Google, TikTok, and GitHub turning on capabilities for passkeys this summer, billions of people around the world now have the opportunity to adopt this exciting technology.”

The new functionality in 1Password provides users with the ability to manage and use passkeys on mobile apps and browser extensions, organize credentials, receive passkey alerts through Watchtower, securely share passkeys, and customize business policies. Soon, 1Password users will also be able to unlock their password vaults using just a passkey.

Of course, in order to take advantage of passkeys with 1Password, you need to make sure you update your iPhone or iPad to iOS 17. 1Password is available for free on the App Store , although some features require a paid subscription.

Sync or transfer passwords from 1password to keychain

I have conflicting password managers. I started using 1Password years ago and have kept it. Now with Ventura, I don't think I need 1PW. How do I transfer or sync my passwords in 1PW into Keychain?

Once I get all my passwords into Keychain, I intend to quit using 1PW. So Keychain needs to have passwords for all the items in my 1PW account.

Hello Staynavytom,

Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We'd recommend using the guidance from Import bookmarks, history, and passwords in Safari on Mac which may help. For instance, if you are able to export from 1password as a file, you can then import to iCloud Keychain using the following steps.

" Import a passwords file

  • In the Safari app on your Mac, choose File > Import From > Passwords CSV File.
  • Select the CSV file to import.
  • Click Import.
  • Enter the login password for your Mac.

If a password you’re importing doesn’t match a password you’ve saved to your Mac, you can see the related account, user name, and password saved to your Mac, then choose which one to keep. See  At least one password wasn’t imported .

5. Click Delete “ filename .csv” to protect the security of your accounts."

iCloud Keychain review: How good is Apple’s built-in password manager?

Martyn Casserly

Expert's Rating

  • Free and built-in
  • Auto-fill passwords
  • Syncs across your Apple devices
  • Not great for non-Apple devices
  • Lacks the polish of rivals

Our Verdict

Apple’s own password manager has enough features and security provisions to satisfy most users. Plus, it’s built right into the operating system. You’re probably already using it and haven’t realized. 

Best Prices Today: Apple iCloud Keychain

Password managers have become very popular recently, with the ability of an app to remember all your login details and fill them in automatically being an absolute godsend. But Apple products come with a password manager baked into the operating system – iCloud Keychain. So, how does it stand up to some of the competition and is it safe to stick with Apple’s free offering rather than shelling out for another subscription service?

Software & Features

  • Built into macOS, iOS and iPadOS
  • Auto-fills passwords
  • No dedicated app

iCloud Keychain is a bit different to other popular password managers like  Dashlane  and  1Password , as it doesn’t have a standalone app on the iPhone, iPad or a desktop app on Mac. Instead, it’s part of the operating system itself, and therefore can be found in the iCloud section of Settings/System Settings. 

While an app would improve the experience somewhat, iCloud Keychain still has a good selection of the standard tools found on other password managers (read our round-up of the Best Password Managers for Mac and iPhone ). You can store login details for your various accounts, credit card details for payments, Wi-Fi passwords, and it syncs your data for Mail, Contacts, Calendar, and Messages so that your iPhone, iPad and Mac all stay up to date with each other. 

If you’re committed to the Apple universe, then iCloud Keychain can quietly manage all your secure data in the background. On the Mac you can create passwords, edit them, and be warned if any have appeared in security breaches or have been reused too many times to remain safe. 

Password section on iCloud Keychain

Martyn Casserly

As with most password managers, iCloud Keychain can help you create complex passwords to replace the blend of your birthday and the name of your first pet. It’s not as advanced as some rivals, which allow you to specify the length of the passwords and whether it includes numbers, different case letters or special characters. iCloud Keychain does offer the ability to remove special characters (which is a requirement by some sites), but that’s about the extent of control you have over the new password.

On iPhone you have the ability to have the service create a random, complex password – but you have no control over the outcome. These are stored in a separate place to the iCloud section of Settings, so you’ll need to look for the Passwords option on the general Settings page. 

The service does support Passkeys though, which are slowly beginning to replace passwords, so maybe that’s the better option. Also, if the site/service you’re entering the details of allows for multi-factor verification codes, then iCloud Keychain will help you set them up and store them safely on your device.  

There’s no doubt that there’s an impressive selection of features and convenience with iCloud Keychain, although the interface does feel old and not very well thought out when compared to the polished offerings of Dashlane and 1Password. Also, and this is a big issue, if you want to use Windows or Android devices, then getting iCloud Keychain to work with them is not as intuitive as it is on Apple devices. There’s an iCloud Passwords app for both platforms, but at this point it feels like a token effort when compared to paid password managers. 

Read our guide to How to master your passwords using iCloud Keychain .

Security & Encryption

  • AES 256-bit end-to-end encryption
  • Zero knowledge (Apple can’t see your passwords)
  • Supports multi-factor authorization

As you’d expect with Apple, security on iCloud Keychain is very solid. The service uses AES 256-bit encryption, which is the same as you’ll find on most of the leading password manager apps. Your data is encrypted while stored on your device and during transmission across the web (to log onto sites etc.) so it should be safe from any hacker trying to gather your passwords. In fact, Apple operates a Zero-Knowledge system, so even it can’t see your passwords. 

As mentioned above, there’s also support for passkeys and multi-factor authorization, all of which is protected further by the biometrics (Face ID & Touch ID) that already keep your device secure. 

You don’t get the dark-web monitoring that’s a feature on several rivals, nor the VPN that comes with Dashlane, but as iCloud Keychain is free, you can always invest in the latter if you want to increase the security of your online life. Take a look at our roundups of the  best VPNs for Mac  and  best VPNs for iPhone  to see which services we recommend.             

You can also read our  best password manager for Mac & iPhone  chart to see what iCloud Keychain is up against. 

Price and Availability

iCloud Keychain comes free with every iPhone, iPad and Mac, as it’s part of the operating system on all those platforms. Support for Passkeys is a new feature though and requires iOS 16, iPadOS 16, macOS 13, tvOS 16, or later. 

If you want to take full advantage of the iCloud service, you’ll want to sign up to one of the premium plans that give you more storage as well as access to iCloud Private Relay and Hide My Email. You can read about the  iCloud storage plans  to see what’s on offer.

Should I use iCloud Keychain?

If you use only Apple products, and intend to do so in the years ahead, then iCloud Keychain is quite a tempting service. It features good security, lives on the operating system of your devices, and seamlessly integrates with how you use your iPhone, iPad or Mac. 

It doesn’t have the polish or expanded options of some of the paid password managers, but if you want something simple, easy to use and which will mean you never have to remember more than one password (your Apple ID), then it’s certainly worth trying out. In fact, you probably already are and don’t know. That’s how easy it is to use.

iCloud Keychain just got useful.

iCloud Keychain on iPad

Passwords are important. Strong passwords are even more important, as is using unique passwords, and above all, keeping them private is a pretty good idea as well. To make all of that easier, I've long recommended that people use a good password manager . I still do. But my thoughts on which password manager people should use have just changed. And not in the way that I expected.

See, I've been using 1Password for a long time now. I can't remember exactly when I started, but it was back in the days of buying it and syncing vaults using Dropbox. There was no built-in syncing and no subscription pricing, not that I mind the latter. The former is a necessity for anyone using multiple devices, but it's table stakes at this point.

Over the years I've used 1Password because of the cool apps, easy syncing, and above all, shared vaults. Being able to have a vault that has all of the family's passwords in is a lifesaver, especially when one of the kids needs the Netflix password or gets logged out of Disney Plus . Shared vaults were enough to keep me using 1Password and I basically ignored iCloud Keychain as a result. Sure it's free, and yes, it's built right into everything I use on the daily. But there's no way to have one password easily accessible to multiple people at all times.

Or at least, there wasn't. And now that there is, I figured it was time I take another look at Apple's password management system and potentially save a few dollars every month. And I liked what I saw.

Free as in beer

The obvious thing that iCloud Keychain has going for it is that it's free, which means that just by having the minimum features — so long as they actually work — it's going to be a winner for a lot of people. I could myself in that because while I'm more than happy to pay for software that makes my life easier or better, I'd rather use a free one so long as it does the same job as well or even better. It's with that mindset that I took a deeper look at what iCloud Keychain has to offer.

In use, it's almost identical to using 1Password which is a testament to Apple's APIs. The fact that third-party password managers function in the same way as iOS 17 's built-in manager shows that Apple isn't blocking developers from competing here. The experience isn't going to be impacted by Apple.

So if entering a password when asked for it by a website or app is basically the same, it's time to look beyond that — how iCloud Keychain works.

In the case of sharing passwords, it's great. You create a shared group and tell the system who to send an invitation to and you're off to the races. It couldn't be easier, so long as they're using Apple devices of course. My family uses iPhones and iPads, so there were no issues there and anything I add to the shared group instantly appears on their devices. It's like magic, but better — it's free magic!

Beyond the shared vault situation, there was one smaller thing that kept me with 1Password — the lack of an actual iCloud Keychain app. That still irks me and I can't understand why one doesn't exist. But there are ways around that. There's a shortcut that can be used to instantly access the portion of the Settings app that currently holds all of our passwords, and it works. Add that to your Home screen and you can almost convince yourself it's an app. It's fine, but I still want a proper app in iOS 18.

Decision time

A person holds their iPhone and unlocks their 1Password account using Face ID. In the background is a laptop.

So with all of that said, I sit here with my 1Password subscription canceled and iCloud Keychain doing its thing. It manages my usernames and passwords and even hosts my one-time passcodes as well, so multi-factor authentication is taken care of.

Now yes, I know some people store much more than passwords in 1Password so for those people this might not work — although locked items in Notes might fit some of your needs, and credit/debit cards can be saved in Safari, too. But if you're just storing passwords and want to save some cash, iCloud Keychain is finally a viable option for me. I reckon it could be for you, too.

How to import your passwords to Apple’s iCloud Keychain via Safari

If you’re leaving lastpass and are a safari user, this may be the simplest option.

If you’re moving from LastPass (or another password manager you’re dissatisfied with), you may be tempted to simply go with the password manager that comes with your browser or operating system. It’s certainly an easy solution, and a reasonable one, depending on your point of view. Until recently, third-party password managers were known to be more secure, but Apple and Google have been working to make their built-in password managers more secure , while Microsoft is adding one to its authenticator app . So it could be a viable choice.

One way, however, that these built-in password managers don’t stand up to their independent competitors is how tricky it can be to get preexisting passwords into their systems.

  • How to import your passwords to Chrome and the Google Password Manager

If you tend to hang out in the Apple ecosystem, that means using Safari for your passwords and passing them to your other devices using Apple’s iCloud Keychain. Here’s how to move your password data into iCloud Keychain.

Make sure you have Keychain

iCloud Keychain is how Apple syncs your information across devices — not just passwords, but also credit card info, Wi-Fi passwords, etc. If you haven’t used it, you may want to check to make sure it’s been set up and turned on. (If you plan to use your passwords on your mobile iOS device as well, you might want to check it there, too.)

Using a macOS device:

  • Go to your System Preferences app by clicking on the Apple icon in the upper-left corner
  • If you have macOS Mojave or earlier, click iCloud. Otherwise, select Apple ID > iCloud.
  • Go down the list of apps, and make sure that Keychain is checked

Make sure you have iCloud Keychain.

Using an iOS device:

  • Go to Settings and tap on your name
  • Tap on iCloud and scroll down to Keychain
  • If Keychain is Off, tap on the entry and then toggle it on

Import your password data

In order to get your data into Keychain, you need to import it into Safari on your Mac. Simple, right? Well, not really.

Unfortunately, unlike most password managers, you can’t import passwords from a CSV file into Safari. You can, however, import passwords from either Firefox or Chrome . So if you’ve got a CSV file from another password manager and you don’t have either of those browsers on your machine, you’ll have to install one of them first and upload your passwords into it. (You can find instructions for importing passwords into Chrome here and Firefox here .)

Once your passwords have been imported into one of the other browsers:

  • Close the other browser
  • Open Safari, go to File > Import From, and choose Chrome or Firefox. You can import Bookmarks, History, Passwords, or any combination thereof by checking the appropriate boxes.

1password safari keychain

One note: I had a series of mishaps trying to import from Firefox into Safari. Safari would invariably crash, even after I made a series of tweaks to Firefox. I finally gave up and tried it with Chrome, and the import worked immediately. Your mileage may vary.

You can check to see if the import worked by going to Safari’s top menu and selecting Safari > Preferences > Passwords. (You’ll have to enter your user password to access the password list.) You should see your passwords listed there.

Once you’ve imported your passwords into Safari, they should be automatically picked up by iCloud Keychain and useable across all your approved devices. You can check by typing and clicking on “Keychain Access” using Spotlight Search. That should bring up your Keychain app; you can click on iCloud in the top-left column and “Passwords” in the bottom left to see your imported passwords.

You should find your passwords in Keychain Access (for obvious reasons, some data has been grayed out).

I see a lot of suggestions to use 1Password - is it much better than iCloud Keychain? If yes, what makes it better? I have been using iCloud Keychain for my passwords for some years on my iPhone. It never worked well with my old MBP but synced perfectly with the iPad I got last year. I want it to work fluidly with my brand new MBP. But I find that it doesn't suggest strong passwords like it does on the phone/iPad when I need to create a new one. Also it doesn't alway suggest the password that is saved there - but it does on my iPhone 13PM. They are all logged on to my Apple ID.

I used to use 1Password but migrated to Bitwarden (free). Now I use both Keychain and Bitwarden: Keychain for passwords which sync across devices; and Bitwarden for items that cannot be held in Keychain such as extended credit card details, etc. The same scenario can be used with Keychain and 1Password.

A whole LOT of people are moving away from 1Password, which is miles better than using iCloud Keychain. Keychain is fine for simple password saving, but fails miserably when the list of passwords grows too large. It's also limited to passwords used in web browsers (for the most part), while most Password Managers allow you to store passwords for things like FTP sites, other computers/devices, serial numbers and purchase info for software, attachments (such as PDF receipts and license files), credit card and bank info, and much more. Keychain is also somewhat archaic in function, and quite frankly, ugly. That being said, I left 1Password when it switched to subscription only. It's not that I mind paying for it, it's that it's limited in how and where your data is stored (their servers only). It has also gotten more convoluted in use, in my opinion. And I hate the fact that you have to install a separate extension for each browser you use along with the app itself. I switched to Minimalist . It's from a former Apple Developer, and as its name implies, it's less "pretty" than 1Password, but offers almost all the same functions — with the notable exception of Auto-Fill only working in Safari right now. The best part is that it uses Apple's built-in Auto-Fill functionality, so there is no "extension/plug-in" to install for it to work. It's also not a subscription app. You can purchase a regular perpetual license for $60 (or you can choose a $20 per year subscription). There is a demo available on the website.

  • Keychain can't store multiple URLs for a login entry. This means sites like microsoft.com, xbox.com, and live.com which share the same login information must be separate entries in keychain. If you update your password on one entry, you have to remember to update it for all.
  • For sites that don't autofill correctly, it's not easy to find/copy/paste your password from keychain.
  • Keychain has no password history. If you update an entry, but the website didn't accept the new password, you just lost your original password.
  • Keychain doesn't really have a concept of family sharing (i.e., shared vaults in 1password)

Keychain now has notes, and it is easy to export passwords for backup, contrary to comments in prior threads. Apple Notes has lockable notes and is moving to end-end encryption. Not sure I need a 3rd party password manager now.

I'm about ready to cancel my subscription to 1Password - especially after this last update - it's atrocious. And they have zero tech support ... unless you consider endless back and forth emails "tech support". Beyond frustrating. I'm going to try iCloud Keychain.

I don't mind keeping my vaults at 1Password.com. They're encrypted and safe. I still have local copies on all of my devices. My data is available on all platforms.  

iCloud Keychain.

1Password is best but since they stop stand alone vaults and charge subscription for it. So I have moved to Enpass stand alone using wifi sync. I got discount to buy app. Bitwarden also good. Enpass is closest to 1Password. Enpass and Bitwarden not as smooth as 1Password but works fine for me. Password manager do more than Apple keychain (I also use them too) like add far more extra info like security questions and answers (some websites still use them!!) and some have multiple login like banking use ID and email and some code as well so keychain can’t save all that info. Other personal info like ID and passport etc need password manager to save info and my credit card info too. So much more than apple keychain can do.

If I had to make a choice between 1Password & Apple Keychain I’d still go for KeePassXC or Strongbox for using safe (well tested) encryption algorithms and open source platform.

Minimalist is my preferred password manager. I stopped using 1Password due to complexity and pricing, but wanted more functionality than just Keychain.

Make your passkeys and passwords available on all your devices with iPhone and iCloud Keychain

Use iCloud Keychain to keep your website and app passkeys and passwords, credit card information, Wi-Fi network information, and other account information up to date across all your approved devices and Mac computers (iOS 7, iPadOS 13, OS X 10.9, or later required—except for passkeys, which require iOS 16, iPadOS 16, macOS 13, tvOS 16, or later). iCloud Keychain is secured with 256-bit AES encryption during storage and transmission, and its data can’t be read by Apple.

The iCloud Passwords & Keychain screen, with a setting to sync this iPhone.

iCloud Keychain can also keep the accounts you use in Mail, Contacts, Calendar, and Messages up to date across all your iPhone and iPad devices and Mac computers.

Set up iCloud Keychain

1password safari keychain

Set up iCloud Keychain on an additional device

When you turn on iCloud Keychain on an additional device, your other devices using iCloud Keychain receive a notification requesting your approval of the additional device.

On one of your other devices, approve the additional device. Your iCloud Keychain automatically begins updating on the additional device.

To approve iCloud Keychain when you don’t have access to your other devices, follow the onscreen instructions to use your iCloud Security Code.

Recover your iCloud Keychain if all your devices are lost or stolen

You can also recover your iCloud Keychain through iCloud Keychain escrow, which is also protected against brute-force attacks. iCloud Keychain escrows a user’s keychain data with Apple without allowing Apple to read the passwords and other data it contains. Your keychain is encrypted using a strong passcode, and the escrow service provides a copy of the keychain only if a strict set of conditions is met.

To recover your keychain through iCloud Keychain escrow, authenticate with your Apple ID on a new device, then respond to an SMS sent to a trusted phone number . After you authenticate and respond, you must enter the device passcode. iOS, iPadOS, and macOS allow only 10 attempts to authenticate. After several failed attempts, the record is locked, and you must contact Apple Support on the Apple Support website to be granted more attempts.
