Apple is introducing a standalone Passwords app with iOS 18, which is essentially a password management upgrade to Keychain. Since we tested a beta version of the app, there are several benefits to their app, as well as some major issues. Listen as Josh explains why it's ideal for some people, but why he won't switch to Apple Passwords.

With the new iPhone iOS 18 and Mac OS Sonoma, Apple introduces its first standalone password management app that rivals apps like 1Password, Dashlane, Bitwarden, Proton Pass and others. But is it really the same? There are similarities between the two, but the differences are probably bigger than you think, and it could affect whether or not you use the new app.
