It works great and unless you need more advanced features there is very little reason to pay for a password manager. Edit also a lot of the 1Password advanced features are not in the iOS app which for me makes it less than ideal and I’m probably going to drop my subscription in the next few since keychain does everything I need.

Khizan posted:How easy to use is Apple’s keychain password manager? I use both 1password and keychain (basically as an augment to 1passowrd). I think Keychain works great and is secure, it’s def just only going to work perfectly on Apple. Also, you still gotta make sure she knows her Apple password.

OTP stuff and virtual credit card things. I think there are a few other things that people mentioned that aren’t in the app but those are the two off hand I know for sure weren’t in the app at least a month ago when it was brought up. I was looking for a good reason to keep using 1Password but for me keychain does everything I need and the things 1Password does aren’t explained that well so I probably wouldn’t use them.

stirlo posted:The one-time password feature definitely exists; might be non-intuitive;; go into a password or saved note, click the QR code looking glyph near the other passwords … OK I'm just not seeing that on the iOS app. I must be just missing it but its kinda what I mean when they don't put some of the more advanced features out there so people know about them. I had no idea it was even a thing till someone in the iPhone thread pointed it out TBH. 1Password is good don't get me wrong but for 99% of users Keychain does a fantastic job.

I’m going to stick with 1Password because I mostly use a pc and an Android phone, but I think I’ll set up Keychain for my mother. She doesn’t have a problem remembering passwords that get used fairly often, so it should work out fine for her. Thanks for the responses.

MarcusSA posted:https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/icloud-passwords/pejdijmoenmkgeppbflobdenhhabjlaj?hl=en Yeah this makes sense. I’ll be using 1password because despite a few flaws it’s still good, and also it’s absolutely better on if you are sharing passwords than keychain (as in, works great for my wife and myself). 1password seems decent at updating features, so hopefully they close the gap.

Does Apple take trade in for their keyboard cases? Out of curiosity I checked to see how much they would give me for my 2018 iPad Pro but then I’d also “need” to buy a new Smart Keyboard folio.

Correct that’s what I meant with it bumping around the camera.  The magnets hold it in place real well and the connection / keyboard works just fine. It’s just not flush on that corner.

If I transfer ebooks to the books app on my Mac is there a way to sync that to my iPad without using up iCloud space? Needs to be wireless as I don’t have a USB C to lightning cable. I don’t need to access them via the cloud though.

It’s going to be immensely easier to just use the cloud. Ebooks don’t really take that much space.

So they're turning Swift Playgrounds into a mini-Xcode that's usable for the full app workflow, including submitting it to the App Store. I wasn't expecting them to actually do it, but they did.

They’re also introducing a continuous integration platform (“Xcode Cloud”) for macOS and it’s probably just a matter of time before they add it to iPadOS.

Full screen, Slide Over, Split View are still our multitasking options, with a new tab to control them. Maybe next year... Still excited my new 12.9 finally shipped, but still disappointing.

The sample image with the giant widgets taking up half the screen and tiny little iphone sized icons poorly filling the gaps cracks me up. Yes you can make the icons bigger in settings, but the enormous gaps don't shrink so it's still like a handful of peas rolling around in a box.

Apple seems to have this horrible fear of letting apps run in windows on the iPad. You can already do it on M1 Macs. Just accept the fact that the old way of running iPad apps as glorified iPhone apps does not work when you’re trying to push these loving amazing tablets that I’d love to replace my laptop with as the future of computing. They are seriously so loving close to Jobs’ vision of computing devices behaving like appliances and they’re capping themselves in the foot because they think running a windowed iPadOS will complicate things. Just having the option of using it in landscape mode and the Home Screen adjusting accordingly insinuates that you can now use your tablet as a laptop. But you can’t. Because multitasking is a confusing mess even for tech savvy people.

The 2018 still was really drat fast for everything I used it for. I was hoping the M1 to be the precursor to them doing more with the drat thing but if they are they sure as hell aren’t doing it this year.

The Surface Pro (when I had one) was a pretty good laptop but terrible tablet. I really wanted to like it but it just suffered from trying to be a touch based tablet with a Mouse and Keyboard centric UI.

I have a Surface Pro 4 and the Surface Pro Laptop ( I think from the same gen) from work. They're dogshit. I only use them when I have to use a windows box for something at home like testing poo poo. I think the newer models have better battery life and decent specs but the design itself is poo poo.

If I only got to have one thing, I'd rather get a surface pro than either just an ipad or just a laptop. Working on stuff on a laptop is a million times better than on an iPad, and reading or watching stuff is usually nicer on a tablet. Of course I'd rather get a separate tablet and a laptop, but that doesn't make the surface dogshit lol

But as it stands right now, iPad OS 15 is a frankly baffling followup a month after an M1 iPad drops I'm hoping this is the 'rona effect, but my brain says Apple will never un-gimp iPads until high end iPads or low end Macbooks take enough of a sales hit. I doubt the company behind Multitouch can't figure out a way to makes apps windowed. If I hadn't already sold my 2018 I'd be in the Cancel It group too, but as things are now I'll end up using my M1 for Air 2 (Which is still getting iPadOS 15) lengths of time since aside from OLED (with the accompanying price bump) what's missing hardware wise?
