![]() ![]() ie: Chrome+Safari+Firefox have all accessed your credentials for but only Safari has seen your iCloud credentials and only Chrome has seen your HN credentials. Maybe the better way would be tracking access to passwords in Keychain. I personally think it should be an all-or-nothing type of allowance for this reason. This leads to either decision fatigue or a pre-programmed "yes, just do it" response from the vast majority of users. The above is not a critique but certainly a list of things that lead to the possibility of a repeat of the infamous Windows popup for every single action you want to do out of the box. What would that look like? Do you expect a prompt for every website you visit (Would you like to allow permission for Firefox/Chrome/whatever to view/store your password for ""?) Would the permission be tied to the name of the app or the hash of the app? How do you securely identify the browser? Signed apps? Signed via a developer key - trust the developer so that you can use Chrome as well as Chrome Beta? The fucking name of the screen is "passwords"! I shouldn't have to get farther than "pas" for it to be the first entry on the list, "pass" in the worst-case! Even fully typing "passwords" still leaves it as the second entry (of three) on my device. I can get all the way to "password" and it's still the fourth entry. IDGAF about clicks because I search my way to everything in Apple's settings-what does bother me is that they've made search worse in the last couple versions of iOS, and that if I type "pass" in search, "Passwords" isn't even visible on the list yet. Heaven forbid you need search it's only a simple 37 clicks away! You'd think this would be connected in some fashion to "keychain", but nope. ![]() ![]() I use Safari a lot but if I'm in a different browser then my passwords are unavailable. I'd probably be on a lot more Google shit if I needed more cross-platform access to that stuff. Ditto Notes, all their Office-type programs, et c. Windows is for gaming, Linux is my file storage and docker-service-running server that I only interact with over SSH and Web. Like a lot of other Apple stuff, I'm only able to use it because I don't use anything non-Apple for anything "serious" that involves a GUI. They can claim it's cross-platform but it's truly a sub-par product. ![]()
