Why do you need SSO? Password managers make it easy to manage accounts.
PMs don't make it easy, they make it reliable and central. The default password generation usually doesn't work, and a web form doesn't capture everything, but I'm never clicking and guessing even when I haven't used an account in years.
But SSO wins on mobile, because the PM is clunky even with a custom keyboard. Even then, I keep a dummy entry in my PM just so I'm tracking it.
Mobile Dashlane and Lastpass work much better on Android, where the OS allows you to set default apps. If Apple deserves any antitrust spankings its for not allowing user control of protocol handlers and default programs.
Bitwarden seems to work quite nicely as well but in addition to that Bitwarden is open-source.
I was going to mention it but I hadn't used it yet.
iOS allows you to set your default password manager...
I thought that was just default AutoFill? It allows saving passwords to your password manager too?

You can create/generate & save new login on the fly from the sign-in screen. At least with 1Password. It's clunkier than I think is strictly necessary, but it is effective.
Is that through a keyboard? Can the browser pass what I type to 1pass?

Yep, works through the keyboard. Click on the login or password field, then it gives you a key icon to get into 1Password, where you are prompted to generate a password and provide a username. Then you tell it to autofill that into the form. A little clunky but effective.
But what you cant do, (because these are all work arounds to a proper "default password manager") is have 1pass capture what you typed into a page.
Apple gives preference to Keychain and gives it special ability. Which is what MSFT got in trouble for with IE embedded into windows.
It's new functionality I think, or at least I just recently realized I can set LastPass as the default password manager on iOS.
Didn't Facebook originally implemented something similar to this email obfuscator in their SSO, and later removed it?
Isn't your reason not to use Facebook an even greater reason to not use their sso?

Couldn't you just use Gmail for that?
I do wonder how many sites will actually implement it.
