Password managers and Passkeys
11/06/26 Filed in: passwords
I wanted to start setting up some passkeys and wondered if you could help with that? No hurry. Was also thinking about something like a password vault. My friend uses One Password.

I’m not a big fan of third party password managers like 1Password, LastPass, etc… for several reasons. Apple’s built in password manager is ok but not perfect. Eventually passwords are still so personal and important to us that we need to have our hands on them at least occasionally. In terms of passkeys, you can only implement the use of passkeys if the company you have an account with supports them. For instance, Lowes, Amazon, and Truist bank may support using a passkey but Home Depot, Harris Teeter, or USPS may not. It’s up to the login page.
