I really did laugh out loud as you make it sound so easy. Having said that the money isn't in the consumer side, but the Enterprise. 1Password is only just entering this market and there are huge potential.

The potential is just as huge Apple and MS add “good enough” solutions. From a biz context, 1pwd is winning in its niche. But it’s just a feature the OS vendors haven’t prioritized from a technical context.

I am grabbing AWS keys from MacOS keychain and can access creds I save in iCloud from any device. Uh oh 1pwd

That is assuming your whole Enterprise is only on macOS, which I think none of the Fortune 500 companies are.

If you have cross platform to support, and want the best experience ( or I should say equal experience ) than a decent third party Password Manager is the only way to go.

I would have thought Google would be interested in this market, but ever since the birth of Android, all the wanted is Chrome or Android Integration.

You inferred that’s what I was implying.

I wasn’t implying that at all. I said “OS vendors” and used my anecdote as one example of what I mean.

An "ok" password manager is surely a feature Microsoft will add to Office 365, with a pro upgrade to shared passwords, etc

I would say GSuite could also do it, but they'd much rather you move everything to BeyondCorp.

Right now, it seems like none of the big guys provide interoperability on their password managers by design. Apple's works great for apps and Safari, but won't work on Chrome, Google only works on Chrome, Microsoft's doesn't work on an iPhone.

an ok password manager is Chrome's password manager, isn't it?

It allows you to use smart unique passwords, syncs between devices, and uses the OS master key to hide the passwords.

It's not great, but it's probably good enough for many people.

You left out the funniest part. That the task...
