I use Keychain, but I use it to store passwords I come up with. It offers, but 
I don't let it generate passwords for me. A few things about Keychain:

* It's not for documents, notes, or anything else. It stores secure 
information, like credit card details or passwords, for auto-fill in websites 
and apps. To store notes, you'd use the Notes app, optionally 
password-protecting them.

* Keychain is only available for Apple products. The moment you want to 
auto-fill your password from Keychain on Windows or Android, you're out of 
luck. This isn't a problem if you live in Apple World as my family does, but 
it's worth keeping in mind and could be a show-stopper for plenty of users.

* It can be a little complex to set up, using a different code to enable on 
macOS and doing some other funny things. It's not bad, but it's not a simple 
checkbox either.

* Oddly, it will auto-fill at your request. That is, you can use it with no 
additional security. On iOS, for instance, you can let it fill in a card or 
password, no Touch ID necessary. Of course, your device has to be unlocked, but 
it's still worth remembering that anyone can log in or fill in cards if they 
have your unlocked device. They can't see passwords, and auto-filled cards that 
need a security code still make you enter the code.

That's all I can think of off the top of my head.
