I've used 1Password for the better part of a decade, but I've slowly been weaning off of it. I'm in the Apple ecosystem, and have switched to using keychain for all my passwords.

I was pretty unhappy when 1Password switched to a subscription model, which is partially why I chose to leave.

1Password's mobile experience also isn't great, especially when compared to iOS's native keychain syncing abilities.

All in all, I'm fairly bearish on 1Password for the personal use case. If you're not in the Apple ecosystem, Google has similar capabilities. If you want to be agnostic, then there are free alternatives as well.

I believe keychain can cover a lot.

What about identity information or other documents you would not want to store unencrypted, but also need ready access to?

What about shared vault behavior in 1pw? Even if Apple offered this, it seems unlikely to be built for share outside their ecosystem.

I'm sure those are valid use cases. It's just not something I've ever needed in 10 years of 1PW. Keychain covers passwords and credit cards, which are all I need it for.

Would you mind explaining your migration process from 1Password to Keychain? Was it fairly simple?
