A more important question is, is there a way to export all your passwords after you're locked out? One of the major risks here is you permanently lose access to your One Ring to Rule Them All account and thereby all of the others.
In theory you can export the data to some out-of-ecosystem backup device on a regular basis, but we all know that most people are not going to do that.
I want to have a copy of all my passwords and Apple does not provide that
I have been stung a few times by apple locking my data within their ecosystem (eg I can’t export my notes from iPhone out without a Mac, or MANUALLY copy each note which is crazy) so I refuse to use any of their apps or features unless I own my data
The backup situation is terrible
- Mac only
- Only Passwords (no passkeys)
- Only items you created (so nothing shared with you, even if you own the shared “group”)
In short your only option is one at a time manual export
