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 personal data, choose the Personal or Private vault.
• 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.

1Password 8 for Mac With Improved Interface, Performance, and More Now Available in Early Access

Popular password management app 1Password today previewed the "next generation" of its app, 1Password 8, featuring a more contextual user interface, redesigned menus, improved password generation, and more.

You'll also notice an indicator next to each shared vault, making it easier to see which vaults are private and which are shared. No guesswork. And items show who they're being shared with. Throughout the app you're in more control, with more contextual information available at all times. Try dragging-and-dropping an item from a personal vault to a shared vault. When you do, 1Password will show you who will gain access to the item so there's no doubt about what's happening.

Taking some inspiration frm macOS Spotlight, 1Password 8 includes a more powerful search bar, allowing users to be more granular with the search terms based on tags, websites, and more. An important aspect of any good password management app is the oversight of your passwords and their vulnerabilities. 1Password 8 is promising more advanced password oversight with an improved version of Watchtower. The new version includes a new editing experience with "a powerful new password generator, smart suggestions, and simpler file attachments."

On top of front-end user refinements, 1Password is promising improved speeds with its upcoming Mac app alongside continued improvements on end-to-end encryption.

You won't see this change but you'll feel it. The app is incredibly responsive across the board, from unlocking to adding accounts to searching your items — especially when combined with native support for Apple Silicon and all the speed improvements that brings. We're talking breaking-the-warp-barrier speed.

1Password 8 for Mac is available in early access for Mac users wishing to try it out.

1Password 8 for Mac is now in Early Access! 🎉

Earlier this year we released our new Linux app and soon after opened early access to 1Password 8 for Windows. Now it’s time for Mac to join in on the fun! 🎊

Mac has always held a special place in my heart. Roustem and I created the very first version of 1Password on our Mac PowerBooks way back in 2006. And our love has continued throughout our 15-year history. 🥰

When we set out to create 1Password 8 we wanted to create a familiar, unified experience while staying true to what makes each platform special.

With 1Password 8, we’ve done exactly that. 1Password 8 is our best Mac app to date and today we’re opening early access so you can get in on the fun.

Welcome aboard the next generation of 1Password for Mac . 😍

Let’s start at the top. Categories now sit atop your item list as a simple dropdown filter, giving the sidebar plenty of room to show all your vaults and their accounts.

You’ll also notice an indicator next to each shared vault, making it easier to see which vaults are private and which are shared. No guesswork. And items show who they’re being shared with.

Throughout the app you’re in more control, with more contextual information available at all times. Try dragging-and-dropping an item from a personal vault to a shared vault. When you do, 1Password will show you who will gain access to the item so there’s no doubt about what’s happening.

And for those of you that love Dark Mode you’re in for a treat! Flipping the switch is so relaxing on the eyes it’s like beaming over to the beauty salon. 😎

Next gen search

The new design is not only gorgeous, it also makes it easier than ever to find what you’re looking for. Giving you what you need and then getting out of your way is one of our prime directives of 1Password. And with Quick Find you can quickly find your items, vaults, and tags.

You can also focus in on your items using Collections. These are super helpful when you have multiple accounts or shared vaults. Customize which vaults and items you see depending on your current task.

I personally use Collections to hide family vaults that I only need access to in case of emergency and don’t want to see every day. It’s also great for hiding production work accounts until I explicitly require them.

Next gen Watchtower

Watchtower is your situation room, giving you a comprehensive overview of your security health. Greatly improve your security by replacing passwords that need attention. Worf never had it so easy. 😀

Next gen editing

Once you jump into an individual item to take care of any vulnerabilities Watchtower points out, you’ll find a completely new editing experience, including a powerful new password generator, smart suggestions, and simpler file attachments.

Next gen browsing

1Password 8 for Mac is even more powerful when paired with 1Password in your browser. When you need to log in to a site, fill a form, or enter payment information, 1Password for Safari , Chrome, Firefox, and Edge surface the relevant information and offer to fill it in for you.

Creating new accounts on websites is a breeze with automatically generated suggested passwords — and just look at the gorgeous and more powerful save window! 😍

Next gen performance

Our new 1Password apps are built in Rust, a secure systems programming language famous for its performance and safety. 🦀

You won’t see this change but you’ll feel it. The app is incredibly responsive across the board, from unlocking to adding accounts to searching your items — especially when combined with native support for Apple Silicon and all the speed improvements that brings. We’re talking breaking-the-warp-barrier speed. 🤘🏽

Next gen security

As always, your items are protected with strong end-to-end encryption so only you can see them. Along with your Secret Key , advanced MFA options, and secure remote password , your data has never been more secure.

That starts at the lock screen, which now shows all your accounts. Along with Touch ID (and soon Face ID hopefully 🤞) for easy unlocking it’s never been easier to protect yourself, your family, and your entire company.

Next gen data recovery

No one likes to lose data (just ask Picard! 😂), so the next generation of 1Password gives you more power to recover data, starting with item drafts, the ability to restore recently deleted items, as well as being able to revert to previous versions of an item.

And if you’re a 1Password Families or Business customer, you can now give specific friends, colleagues, or family members the ability to recover your account should you forget your password. (They will still never have access to your data.)

Make it so 🚀

You’re welcome to come join us here in the future with our Early Access program. Head over to the forums to get started.

Join 1Password 8 for Mac Early Access

I hope you love 1Password 8 as much as we’ve loved creating it. Please share your thoughts with us in the early access forum where the team and I will be hanging out, answering your questions, and incororating your feedback into the official release that is scheduled to be released later this year.

Oh and be sure to mark your calendar for August 12th at noon Eastern when the team and I will be hosting an Ask Me Anything to discuss all things 1Password 8. I look forward to talking with you there as well as within our forums . 🖖🏼

Welcome aboard. 🤗

Encrypt and prosper. This is the way. 😀

Best password managers for Mac and iPhone

You probably have a lot of online accounts, and in order to remember your login details you are quite likely to reuse those same few passwords over and over again. Perhaps you even have a document with them all in. It’s perfectly understandable, but definitely not safe.

We know that it’s important to use an original password for each account and update them on a regular basis, but it can be a Herculean task trying to retain that information in our heads. This is made even more challenging with different sites requiring specific mixtures of characters: this one demands at least two symbols and no capitals, while that one requires a mixture of cases and a minimum length. And then you have to change yet another password and feel like crying!

That’s where password manager apps come in. They allow users to create one master password, after which the app takes care of logging into all other accounts. They even make recommendations for really secure passwords. Having only a single login to remember? That sounds good to us.

How password managers work

The idea of password managers is to simplify the way you access your various accounts. Instead of having to memorize multiple complex passwords for each of the services you use you need only recall one password – or provide a fingerprint or Face ID – and the password manager will automatically fill in the required details for you. Just remember this is only as safe as the password you use to unlock access to all your passwords – so don’t lock them all behind an easy-to-guess password, like your pet’s name.

The password managers also offer various other features. For example, they can generate random, highly secure passwords for your accounts, they can warn you if your password has been compromised, and some can advise you about existing insecure passwords and support your efforts to update them.

Obviously, security is a high priority—as the manager apps have the virtual keys to your kingdom—which is why all of the options listed below use high-grade encryption to protect your details.

Many also feature digital wallets so your bank details can be safely stored and used to make purchases online without having to root around in your pocket or bag for the card number and expiry date.

These services don’t usually come for free, but many offer trials so you can see if it’s the solution for you. After that you’ll need to pay a small monthly fee, but we think that’s a price worth paying for only having to keep one password in your brain.

Do you need a password manager? Is iCloud Keychain enough?

But do you need to buy a password manager when there is one in macOS, iOS and iPadOS? Apple provides iCloud Keychain, which will generate secure passwords and enter them for you automatically, all while storing them securely.

iCloud Keychain is incredibly useful, but it’s a bit basic and lacks some of the features offered by other password managers.

So, if you want to stay safe without having to recall hundreds of passwords, but want more control and features than you get from Apple’s free offering, here’s some of the best alternatives available for Mac, iPhone and iPad users. 

For more ways to keep your data safe be sure to also read our Best Mac security tips article.

Best Password Managers for Mac and iPhone

Icloud keychain.

You may be wondering if you really need a password manager as Apple already includes a free one that works with your Mac, iPhone, iPad and any other Apple device linked to your Apple ID.

iCloud Keychain is Apple’s password management system and it is built into macOS and iOS. It helps you to create secure passwords by generating them on your behalf, warns you if you reuse one or if a password is not secure, and auto-fills your passwords when needed. It’s all tied to your Apple ID login and password and the Apple devices you have registered for two-factor authentication, plus everything is encrypted, so it should be secure.

It doesn’t just fill in passwords for you though: it also enters your logins, emails, credit card numbers, and address details. So you can effortlessly go to sites, choose the item you want to buy, then complete the transaction in seconds and without needing to dredge your memory or fill in loads of text boxes first.

One of the main disadvantages in the past was that iCloud Keychain was restricted to Apple devices and Safari. However, Apple has since added Keychain support via a iCloud Password extension for Edge or Chrome, and the good news for PC users is that this means they can use iCloud for Windows. However, if you have an Android phone iCloud Keychain is redundant and you will need to find your password information and enter it manually (you can look up your passwords in your keychain in Settings > Passwords).

Another frustration we have with iCloud Keychain is that in our experience when we pick a iCloud Keychain suggested password it doesn’t always store it. After years of use our iCloud Keychain is confusingly cluttered with multiple password versions per account.

iCloud Keychain is pretty much a solution for those who only use Apple devices and software. Luckily there are alternatives if you want a little more room to move. 

One of our long-standing favorites is 1Password which has a nice, clean layout and is simple to use. As well as storing and autofilling your passwords it can store other important document information, such as your driver’s licence and passport.

The app comes with the standard vault that you access via a master password, and in which you can see and update your various account login details. It also supports Touch ID and Face ID so you don’t have to enter the password every time you log into the app. There’s a section that includes accounts that can use a passkey.

Security is front and center, with 1Password boasting AES end-to-end encryption so only you will hold the key to your account. AES 256-bit is the order of the day, and 1Password monitors the activity on your account so it can send you warnings if any odd behavior is spotted. It also uses the Secure Remote Password (SRP) protocol, which allows you to authenticate your details to a site without the information being sent to a server which could compromise security.

The Watchtower feature analyzes the overall strength of your online security and warns you if passwords are repeated or vulnerable.

A free 14-day trial is available, but after that, you’ll need to move on to a paid subscription that currently starts at $36 (approx £29) per year. For this, you’ll be able to use the software on as many devices as you like, including macOS, Windows, ChromeOS, and Linux, plus the accompanying iPhone and Android apps.

1Password has won numerous awards and is an easy service to recommend.

Dashlane is a popular password manager, with a comprehensive suite of tools to make your life a lot easier.

The app analyses your current passwords to see how secure they are and gives you an overall rating based on how often you reuse login details for multiple sites. Password monitoring will check if any of your details have been exposed in data breaches or have been reused too many times. There’s also a feature to auto-replace passwords instantly with ones generated by Dashlane.

It’s not only your account details that you can store in Dashlane, you can store bank details, your address and important documents like your passport and driving licence. There’s also a section for any secure notes you wish to keep safe.

All your transactions between the app and sites are end-to-end encrypted using 256-bit AES technology. There’s also 2-factor authentication available, with the Dashlane app acting as an authenticator,

Dashlane is available on a wide range of platforms, with dedicated apps for iOS/iPadOS and Android, plus extensions for Chrome, Safari, Edge and Firefox.

Dashlane costs $39.96 (approx £32) per year for the individual account. There is a free tier available, which acts as a taster for the full package, and you can use it indefinitely, but with a limit of only 25 passwords.

One of the newest additions to the password manager arena is NordPass , which is made by the same fine fellows at NordVPN . The latter is one of our favorite VPNs, as you’ll see from our Best VPN for Mac roundup.

NordPass offers full desktop apps for macOS, Windows, and Linux, plus the standard iOS and Android offerings. You can also use NordPass through browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Brave, Edge, and Safari. 

NordPass has all the features you’d expect from a modern password manager, with quick importing of existing passwords from other services, zero-knowledge architecture, local encryption, 2-factor authentication, password generation, secure storage for credit details and notes, autofill for logging into accounts, folders to store passwords for work, home or other classifications, security monitoring for password hacks, support for biometrics, plus a neat interface to manage all of your various data.

There’s a free feature-limited version. Prices start at $$71.76/£28.68 (currently $35.76 for two years, or £19.08 for one year) for the Premium plan. The free tier supports unlimited passwords, stores credit card details, and secure notes, plus has the ability to sync across all your devices. The main drawback is that you can only be logged into one device at a time. But if you can work with that it’s a service you should definitely investigate. 

When it comes to technology, we often say that you get what you pay for, but in the case of Bitwarden , this isn’t quite true. The service offers a really impressive range of capabilities on its free tier, so with this app, you get what you don’t pay for! 

Without signing up for a premium account you get unlimited storage for passwords, credit cards, notes, and online account IDs, secure text messaging with individuals, a secure password generator, two-factor authentication, plus the ability to either have your data stored on the Bitwarden servers or one you host yourself. Oh, and you can sync all your devices, rather than the single one offered by most other free tiers. 

Should you want to expand the features, then the Premium tier costs $10 (approx £8) per year and adds secure file sharing, 1GB of encrypted file attachments, additional two-factor authentication options, password safety analysis, and access to your account by family if you die or become sick.

Encryption is high-grade stuff, with Bitwarden deploying end-to-end AES-256 bit encryption, salted hashing, and PBKDF2 SHA-256, all of which are down locally on your machine. 

Apps are available on a wide range of platforms, including macOS, Windows, Linux, pretty much every browser you can think of, Android, and iOS, and there’s even a secure web version if you find yourself without your device. 

If you’re looking for value when it comes to password managers, it’s very hard to look past Bitwarden. 

Keeper can store unlimited passwords, auto-generate strong new ones, and sync passwords across multiple devices, all while holding credit card details and other important payment details in its secure vault.

AES 256-bit encryption is all performed locally, so Keeper can never know your details, but there is the option to securely share folders and passwords with friends and family if they need to access any of your accounts. The included secure messaging service is also useful for communicating these requests

There’s also support for Touch ID on the Mac and iPhone, with the latter also working with Face ID, plus Apple Watch compatibility and the option of using two-step authentication.

Keeper Unlimited Password Manager is available from $34.99/£24.99 per year, but there is a free tier that is limited to one device and ten passwords.

Those looking for a simple, secure solution that doesn’t break the bank would do well to consider Enpass.

The macOS client is completely free, but if you want to add the same features to your iPhone or Android device then you’ll need to move to the Enpass Premium tier that costs $23.99/£19.49 per year. If you prefer to buy a lifetime license, you can pick one up for $99.99/£82.99. 

Enpass doesn’t store any of your information on its servers. Instead, everything is encrypted and kept on your personal device so you never lose control of your data. Details can be synced securely via iCloud, Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, Box, or ownCloud/WebDAV, to keep all of your devices in step.

You still have the classic features of other password managers, such as auto-fill forms, security analysis of your passwords and generating complex replacements easily, secure storage for sensitive information, and AES 256-bit encryption, plus support for iOS, Android, and Apple Watch devices.

There are plenty of fine-tuning options for those who are a little bit more hands-on, but we like the no-nonsense approach and the fact that your data never leaves your device.

Another long-standing favorite is Roboform . Like its rivals in this list, the service offers a wide range of features that make life easier for you when interacting with sites online. There’s end-to-end encryption, auto-filling of account details, new password generation, a security suite to monitor and advise you of the current health of your passwords, cloud syncing to keep all your devices up to date, multi-factor authentication, secure sharing, folders, and search features to organize your passwords, plus emergency access which allows family members to access your account if you should fall ill or pass away. 

There’s secure storage for your credit cards and IDs, not to mention notes, contacts, and even your browser bookmarks, which is something we haven’t seen on other services. 

Roboform is available for macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android, or you can use the browser extensions provided for Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Microsoft Edge. 

Prices are very affordable, with the free tier actually being quite decent as it provides unlimited password storage, auto-fill, secure sharing, and other basic features, albeit for a single device. To take advantage of all the capabilities Roboform has to offer you’ll want the Premium tier which costs a very reasonable $29.88 (approx £20) per year and works across all your desktop and mobile devices.

LastPass is probably one of the best-known password manager, thanks to it being one of the original pioneers in the field, however, in recent years it’s lost its crown after being hit with several hacks, including at least one that stole encrypted customer data. This recent history makes it harder to recommend.

Not that security measures aren’t there, the company explains that it uses “AES 256-bit encryption with PBKDF2 SHA-256 and salted hashes to ensure complete security in the cloud.”

The app does all of its encryption locally, so LastPass never knows your master password, and the Premium tier also supports a form of two-factor authentication for another layer of security. This is called MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) and not only allows confirmation text messages to be sent, but also works with biometrics (Face ID & Touch ID) and even voice commands (although some of these methods are reserved for the Business plan).

You can either use LastPass locally on your device via dedicated apps (macOS, iOS and iPadOS), or via the web with plugins and extensions available for Safari, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, and Microsoft Edge all of which allow you to automatically access login details for sites and accounts or have LastPass autofill the login fields on your behalf. 

Just like with other managers you have access to a vault where all of your passwords are stored, and these can be changed to more complex alternatives at the touch of a button. LastPass will also advise you on how secure your passwords are for your existing accounts. Getting set up is easy too, as you can import existing passwords from web browsers, email, and other password managers.

The app offers a digital wallet to store your card details, plus another area for official ID such as passports and driving licenses. The Note section is a place where you can keep Wi-Fi passwords, insurance details and any other important documents that you need to access. It’s also possible to securely share account details and logins with friends and family, even if they don’t have LastPass. 

There is a free tier, although this is limited to one device, so if you want to sync across your Mac and iPhone you’ll need to move up to the Premium tier. At the time of writing, this will cost £31.20/$36 per year. Those wanting more scope can opt for the family plan which includes six user accounts and only costs £40.80/$48 per year on the LastPass website.

One of the advantages of a paid plan is an Emergency backup which means that, should you suffer an accident or even pass away, your family will be given access to your account.

Datalist Support in Safari

Is there any way to get full datalist support in Safari?

Originally basic support came a long time after other browsers but it still does not fully support datalists where for example a datalist has a value and a description.

In Safari only the value/code is displayed and not the title/description which makes it very difficult to know what the code/option relates to.

This example demonstrates it well:

HTML5 <datalist> autocomplete examples (codepen.io)

Examples 3 and 4 show a value and a description for each option if viewed in Chrome or Edge as is common in select lists too but it only shows AF, AX and AL... in Safari and then it is difficult to know what these countries are.

Support has been in Chrome since 2012 and Edge since 2014 and being able to use a searchable drop-down for something long like country and ethnicity would seem pretty important but 12 years after Chrome supported it, it is still not usable for this scenario in Safari.

Other than have to add JavaScript to convert datalists to selects on Safari and lose the benefits will datalists be properly supported at some point?

gopass: Best for tech-savvy Mac users

gopass is a lightweight but efficient open-source password manager designed for tech-savvy Mac users seeking a simple yet secure command-line solution for storing and managing passwords.

One of its key functionalities is the ability to work seamlessly with existing setups, supporting the initialization of a git repository in the store by default. This feature ensures efficient synchronization as it automatically pulls and pushes data when modifications are made on the app.

SEE:  Brute Force and Dictionary Attacks: A Guide for IT Leaders (TechRepublic Premium)

With gopass, you can store not only passwords but also various other types of data as encrypted binary files within the password vault. The ability to create multiple separate stores, or mounts, allows for organized data management. As a security measure, gopass prompts you to verify recipient details during encryption to prevent accidental data exposure.

While it may lack some advanced features compared to other password managers, its focus on simplicity and security makes it a practical choice for those seeking a lightweight solution. Although gopass is a decent open-source password manager, its design makes it somewhat unsuitable for non-technical Mac users.

Why we chose gopass

We identified gopass as the ideal solution for tech-savvy Mac users due to its technical approach to password management through command-line access.

gopass is cost-free.

• Support for storing various types of data as binary files.

How do I choose the best open source password manager for my business?

Selecting the best open source password manager for your business depends on a variety of factors. Since we are talking about open source password managers, the first consideration should be security and maintainability. All the password managers mentioned above offer robust encryption methods to ensure your data is secure, as well as a rich history of maintenance.

However, different businesses have different needs. For instance, if your business heavily relies on team collaboration, Passbolt stands out with its user management and sharing features. If your business prioritizes a clean and intuitive user interface, Bitwarden and MacPass are worth considering.

Note that the best password manager for your business is the one that fits your specific needs, so, when making a pick, include factors like cost, ease of use, customer support and compatibility with your existing ecosystem. It’s also important to consider the future scalability of the software as your business grows.

Review methodology

In this round-up of the best open source password managers, my evaluation was conducted based on a comprehensive review of their features, usability, security measures and customer reviews. While I had hands-on testing on Bitwarden and Passbolt on my Chrome browser, I watched video demos to understand some of the solutions reviewed. During my testing, I focused on the usability of the interface, feature performance and the setup process.

In addition, I relied on the documentation provided by each vendor to understand the standout feature of each password manager. External reviews and user feedback were also analyzed to gain insights into each product’s pros and cons.

Apple @ Work

Apple @ work: over 52% of workers try to memorize and reuse the same password across multiple apps at work.

Apple @ Work is brought to you by  Kolide by 1Password , the device trust solution that ensures that if a device isn’t secure, it can’t access your apps. Close the Zero Trust access gap for Okta. Learn more or  watch the demo .

World Password Day is coming on May 2, 2024, and Bitwarden is releasing its 4th annual survey looking at how password management has evolved. The company surveyed 2,400 people from the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, France, Germany, and Japan to explore contemporary password practices among users. This survey looks at password security behaviors at home and in professional settings, evaluates how phishing and AI affect online security, and gauges users’ feelings about adopting passkeys as a new authentication method.

About Apple @ Work:  Bradley Chambers managed an enterprise IT network from 2009 to 2021. Through his experience deploying and managing firewalls, switches, a mobile device management system, enterprise grade Wi-Fi, 1000s of Macs, and 1000s of iPads, Bradley will highlight ways in which Apple IT managers deploy Apple devices, build networks to support them, train users, stories from the trenches of IT management, and ways Apple could improve its products for IT departments.

Password management has continued to evolve in the enterprise in recent years as SSO solutions like Okta become crucial to how organizations secure their environments. Still, even past that, Passkeys and password managers continue to work side by side with SSO solutions for end-to-end security. Solutions like Kolide, which I use daily, are also a component of ensuring that devices are secure. There’s no single-bullet solution for security around password and app management.

Risky password practices revealed by individuals for personal use

Bitwarden’s survey reveals that a significant 38% of individuals in the US reuse passwords across 11-20 accounts, which contrasts with the global average of 20%. Furthermore, 42% of these individuals use personal information in their credentials that can be easily found on social media (61%) and online forums (40%). This demonstrates a stark discrepancy between recommended security measures and user behavior, emphasizing how poor password habits and password reuse significantly increase the risks of cybersecurity threats and identity theft.

The discrepancy between cybersecurity confidence and actual behaviors

Despite 77% of users expressing confidence in their ability to recognize a phishing attack, and 74% feeling prepared to handle AI-enhanced cyber threats, many still engage in risky password management techniques. A significant 55% rely on memory and 35% on pen and paper to manage their passwords at home. In comparison, nearly half (46%) frequently access personal and work data over public networks, heightening their risk of exposure. These practices result in tangible consequences; 23% of US respondents have experienced security breaches, with 26% having their passwords stolen or compromised—higher than the global averages of 19% and 23%, respectively. This highlights the cognitive dissonance between users’ perceived security competencies and their actual practices.

Poor personal password habits affecting security at work

The survey findings indicate that individuals’ lax password practices at home are often mirrored in the workplace. Most respondents admit to relying on memory (59%) and pen and paper (34%) to manage workplace passwords. Over half (52%) frequently reuse passwords across different workplace accounts. Although 60% receive regular security training and 57% feel confident in managing threats, nearly a quarter (23%) acknowledge their workplace security habits are somewhat risky. This is a major concern as US respondents continue to use weak or personal-info-based passwords (44%), manage work passwords insecurely (45%), neglect the use of two-factor authentication (2FA, 23%), and share passwords insecurely (32%).

Rising adoption of stronger cybersecurity habits

Encouragingly, the survey shows a positive trend in adopting more robust cybersecurity behaviors. Fifty-six percent of US individuals who use a password manager at home report increased security consciousness at work, with 48% stating they now reuse passwords less frequently. The benefits of password management software are also being shared within workplaces by 32% of the respondents. The influence of password managers extends to personal security, with 67% noting increased security awareness at home and a 49% reduction in password reuse frequency.

How is passkey adoption going?

About 51% of US respondents have started using passkeys, pointing towards a gradual transition to passwordless authentication. However, 34% still do not fully understand the security benefits of passkeys, indicating a need for more education from the industry. Despite the growing adoption, there are ongoing concerns about privacy and security, with apprehensions about data misuse (36%), monitoring uncertainties (34%), unauthorized access (30%), and secure storage doubts (28%). To foster wider acceptance, transparent communication, and robust security assurances are crucial.

Organizations adopting passkeys could increase trust in their security resilience for 65% of respondents, and 68% would be more inclined to use passkeys personally if implemented at their workplace. While 45% believe passkeys and passwords will coexist, 22% foresee passkeys making passwords obsolete. Despite varying perspectives, a significant majority (62%) agree that the industry needs to enhance public education on the benefits of passkey technology.

Compare Best Mac Password Managers of 2024

Mac password manager introduction.

Before you can find the best password manager for Macs, it’s important to first know what one is and how it works.

What Is a Password Manager for Mac?

A Mac password manager creates, stores, and manages your passwords and other details like your credit card numbers, ID cards, and insurance policy information. This information is stored in a private virtual vault that requires just one master password for access, eliminating the need to track multiple passwords and logins. When you visit a site or app, a feature called autofill will input all of your information automatically so you never have to access or enter your passwords yourself.

The best password managers for Mac also allow you to access your passwords from different types of devices, such as iPhones, for convenient access to your data at all times. Securing sharing is often available for sharing with family, friends, and colleagues, and emergency access or a legacy feature help ensure that your passwords do not ever fall into the wrong hands.

Compare Free Mac Password Managers vs. Paid Mac Password Managers

Free Mac password managers tend to be limited in features. You may receive basic security features like data breach alerts, but premium features like health scans, dark web monitoring, and email masking usually cost money. Password sharing isn’t usually free, either, so if you plan to share your passwords with family, roommates, or coworkers, a paid Mac password manager is likely a better option. Free password managers also typically allow access for a single device, while paid password managers offer access for multiple or unlimited devices.

Who Is a Paid Mac Password Manager Best For?

For users with a lot of passwords and devices, a paid plan with one of the best Mac password managers may be a better fit. The advanced security protections and accessibility are often reason enough for many users to make the investment. There are also typically family and business plans available to accommodate secure sharing among family, roommates, and colleagues.

Types of Mac Password Management Tools

• Local password managers: A local password manager stores your data on your device. It can be more secure because no information is exchanged over the cloud, but access remains limited to just a single device. KeePass is one example of a password manager with local storage.
• Cloud-based password managers: Instead of storing data on your Mac, a cloud-based password manager like 1Password uses the cloud to secure your information. This provides greater accessibility and convenience than a local password manager because you can access your passwords from any device at any time.
• On-premise password managers: An on-premise password manager like Keeper is typically used by a business or organization to secure proprietary data, such as passwords and logins. It stores your data in a closed environment, such as an office or data center, and operates based on an independent infrastructure, making it more expensive than the average local or cloud-based management system.
• Browser-based password managers: Browser-based password managers operate using a browser extension to store your passwords and login information while you surf the web. Browsers like Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge all have password managers available.

How to Choose a Mac Password Manager

No two password managers are exactly alike. These are some factors to consider when choosing the best Mac password manager for your information.

All password management systems incorporate basic security features, but the best password managers go one step further with enhanced features like dark web monitoring, email masking, and VPN access. Information is protected using security protocols like multi-factor authentication and advanced encryption standards, such as AES-256-bit encryption. Look for a zero-knowledge policy, which means that the system won’t access or share your saved data.

In addition to password storage, many password managers often have features like a password generator, autofill tool, and password health scans. Secure sharing, automatic syncing, and file storage are additional benefits that often come with the best Mac password managers. If you are switching from another password manager, check out the data import process to add your existing passwords to the new program.

Cross-Platform Support

Not all password managers offer the best compatibility, so consider what type of devices you plan to use with your password manager. A password manager like 1Password or NordPass offers wide compatibility across a number of systems.

The cost of a password manager varies depending on the company and plan you choose. Many of the best password managers, like Bitwarden, offer a free plan, but if you have the budget, Dashlane offers advanced features with its Premium plan, like VPN access, real-time phishing alerts, and dark web monitoring for $4.99 per month. Check whether a free trial or money-back guarantee is available so you can test drive the service before making a financial commitment.

Other Mac Password Manager Alternatives

Enpass secures your password information, credit cards, ID cards, and insurance information with over 80 pre-installed templates to simplify input and maximize organization. Notable features include biometric authentication with password generation, passkey support, and data breach alerts with regular password audits. Users also have the option to store data offline or on popular cloud servers.

Both personal and business plans are available for added flexibility. The Individual plan includes unlimited passwords, vaults, and devices, and pricing starts at $1.99 per month. You also have the unique option to purchase a one-time license upfront for $99.99 and skip the monthly commitments.

LastPass is a free password manager with security features that include data breach alerts and dark web monitoring. Other benefits include passwordless login, AES-256 encryption, and multi-factor authentication. It is all backed by a zero-knowledge policy, which means LastPass won’t access or share your saved data. For business users, LastPass has third-party global security certifications to better accommodate corporate compliance.

LastPass offers a free plan for unlimited passwords, but you are limited to a single device type for access. If you choose to upgrade, plans start at $3 per month for the Premium plan and include expanded access with file storage, secure sharing, and emergency access.

Norton Password Manager

Norton Password Manager provides a personal virtual vault that allows you to create and store your password with other personal data. The personalized Safety Dashboard assesses the health of your passwords and notifies you when a more secure substitute is recommended. There is a free password generator on the site that creates custom passwords using letters, mixed-case characters, punctuation, and numbers.

Norton offers its password generator free on its site, but you will have to subscribe if you want to use Norton Password Manager. The service is bundled with other Norton security products with plans starting at $29.99 for the Norton AntiVirus Plan. Antivirus, malware, ransomware, and hacking protection all come included as well.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a secure password.

According to the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, a secure password contains at least 16 random characters that use a combination of numbers, mixed-case letters, symbols, or passphrases made up of five to seven random words. To help you create the most secure passwords, the best password managers offer a password generator that uses the latest security protocols.

Is a Mac Password Manager Worth It?

The best Mac password managers take the work out of logging into your favorite sites and apps. All your information is stored in one secure central location that’s protected by advanced encryption, regular health scans, data breach alerts, and dark web monitoring. Many of the best Mac password managers even offer free plans that allow you to benefit from secure password management without a subscription.

What Is the Best Password Manager?

The best password manager is 1Password. It offers robust security tools like automatic password generation and multi-factor authentication with flexible, affordable plans that are designed with sharing in mind. Enjoy simple iOS downloads for Macs and iPhones, giving you easy compatibility with your favorite devices.

What Is the Best Free Password Manager?

Bitwarden is the best free password manager , offering unlimited passwords with access for unlimited devices. However, extra features like the BitWarden Authenticator tool, data breach monitoring, and emergency access make upgrading worth a second thought.

Are the Best Mac Password Managers Safe?

The best Mac password managers have personal vaults that are safe for storing passwords and other sensitive data. However, cyber attacks still happen, so look for advanced security features like multi-factor authentication, AES-256-bit encryption, and data breach alerts that will secure your data and inform you immediately if your information has been compromised.

Your Guide to Private Browsing in Safari

Private browsing is often misunderstood, but it can be a helpful feature if you know what’s what.

Quick Links

What private browsing does in safari, how to use safari private browsing on iphone and ipad, how to use safari private browsing on a mac, how to disable safari private browsing on iphone and ipad, how to disable safari private browsing on a mac, key takeaways.

• Private Browsing in Safari hides browsing history, autofill details, downloads, and locks tabs after inactivity.
• Safari on Mac groups private and non-private tabs, while on iPhone it shows all tabs regardless of mode.
• To use Private Browsing in Safari, identify it by a dark address bar, "Private" indicator, or "Private" next to the site URL.

Most browsers offer a private browsing mode that aims to keep the websites you view off the record. But what exactly does it do in Safari and how do you get the best out of it?

First and foremost, Private Browsing keeps the website pages you visit out of your History . The aim is to prevent someone else from seeing which pages you have visited if they have access to your phone or computer.

In Safari, Private Browsing does a lot more than just hide URLs. It also:

• Prevents recent searches from showing up in your history.
• Stops remembering details you enter in forms for autofill.
• Keeps downloaded items from appearing in your Downloads list.
• Locks private tabs after a period of inactivity.
• Adds tracking and fingerprinting protection.

However, it’s important to note that Private Browsing does not stop you from being tracked altogether. Websites you visit will still be able to use various methods to track you, and will still have access to all data that you send them.

On macOS, iOS, and iPadOS, Safari groups private tabs together, and separates them from non-private tabs. On Mac, each Safari window is either private or non-private, and can have as many tabs as you want.

On iPhone, you can switch between private and non-private modes, each of which shows all tabs belonging to that mode.

You can spot when you’re viewing a private tab with these signs:

• The address bar has a dark background. This may be less noticeable if you’re using Dark Mode .
• On Mac, you’ll see a prominent Private indicator in the title bar.
• On iPhone, you’ll see Private alongside the site URL at the bottom of your screen.

The steps to enter Private Browsing mode are nearly identical on an iPhone and iPad. The only difference is that the tab icon is at the bottom of the screen on iOS and the top on iPadOS.

• Long-press the tab icon (two overlapping pages) on the bottom-right (iPhone) or top-right (iPad) of your screen.
• Tap the New Private Tab menu item.
• If locked, enter your passcode to unlock Private Browsing.

You can enter Private Browsing mode on macOS using either a menu item or a keyboard shortcut:

• Open the File menu and choose New Private Window .
• Alternatively, use the keyboard shortcut Shift + Cmd + n .
• Use the browser as you normally would. Any tabs you open from this window will open in the same window, in private mode.

You may want to prevent users of an iPhone or iPad from using Private Browsing mode at all. To do so:

• Open the Settings app.
• Tap on Screen Time .
• Under RESTRICTIONS , click on Content & Privacy Restrictions .
• If not already enabled, press the toggle next to Content & Privacy Restrictions to enable.
• Tap Content Restrictions .
• Change the Web Content setting to Limit Adult Websites .

The option to enter private mode will now be gone.

On macOS, the wording of certain options differs slightly, but the overall process is near-identical to iOS:

• Open System Settings via the Apple menu.
• Click on Screen Time in the left panel.
• Under the Restrictions section, click on Content & Privacy .
• Click Content Restrictions .
• Change the Access to Web Content setting to Limit Adult Websites .

Private Browsing will now be unavailable in Safari, although any existing private windows will stay open.

Of course, anyone can re-enable Private Browsing using the same process, in reverse. However, you can use Screen Time’s Lock Screen Time Settings option to set a passcode and enforce the setting permanently.
