Ah yes I remember that now, I had forgotten about that!

Funny, especially now that I see Apple are now going the other way with a dedicated "Passwords" app on iOS 18 and macOS 15. And for Apple to do this - against their instinct for featureless simplicity and implicit integration - to give passwords their own "shop front" as a dedicated app I think really does acknowledge the first-class importance that passwords now have, even for a broad audience.

It's a shame as I think Mozilla could really compete well in this space. They are both cross-platform, have their their own browser and have a good reputation on privacy. It's a killer combo. Bitwarden is evidence you can make it work and you don't need massive big-tech budgets to make a difference.
