Apple has recently introduced the Passwords app to macOS, offering a free solution for managing login credentials and syncing them across devices -assuming the user is also using other devices within Apple’s ecosystem.
In this post, I’ll be comparing Apple’s Passwords app with 1Password, a well-known password management tool that requires a paid subscription in terms of features both offers.


First, let’s take a look at the features and options of both apps when it comes to adding and storing usernames and passwords.

1Password, on the other hand, is a subscription-based app. It has a personal plan starting at $2.99/month and a family plan at $4.99/month for up to 5 members.
Final Thoughts
For macOS users, if your main concern is storing credentials in one place, Passwords is ideal since it’s free. However, if you need advanced features for sensitive documents, 1Password is a better option. For Windows users, Apple’s Passwords app is not available.
