Ok, this is getting confusing, I take it that there is an app called keychain
Because the mac os and IOS platform have a built in feature called the keychain. Which stores passwords and certs etc From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Alex Hall Sent: Monday, 15 January 2018 2:09 PM To: 'Chris Blouch' via MacVisionaries <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Keychain 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. -- Alex Hall On Jan 14, 2018, at 20:01, Agent086b <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Hi all, I am thinking of switching later this year to using Keychain to store my passwords etc. I have been using Lastpas since about 2010. Since they were purchased by Log Me In INC the price has doubled to $24.00 US per year. That is not much except the Australian Dollar is usually between 70c & 80c US. Are people using Keychain? if so can you store documents or as Lastpas calls them secure notes. In notes I store passwords for Apps and things like safe combination for a safe and other things that if I have died my wife can find them. Thanks as always for any help.
