Access: Passwords Companion

Fills all the gaps that Password has left.

Fantastic app, so good Apple should buy it, love the deep integration with iCloud and available on all devices too! Well worth the £19.99 6 STARS!

This app isn’t trying to replace Apple’s new Password app, rather supplement it. It appears to be the missing section that, when paired with Apple Passwords, will do everything that 1Password does, for example. I am looking forward to really trying this out.

I am making the switch from 1Password to Apple’s built-in password management system. Unlike 1Password, Apple’s system lacks the ability to store items such as bank account details, passports, driver licenses, and secure notes. I believe Access plugs this gap, enabling the storage of items like these in a structured and secure environment. It is also a native app, which is important to me.

Since last update - 1) I’m being luckier out of the editing screen constantly; 2) Payment card icons (Visa, Mastercard etc.) not shown anymore; 3) Import from 1Password not working correctly: Payment card from/to being transferred without slash / symbol and year is being put in front.

We need: Autofill Other languages : please German Windows App

This app feels right at home in the Apple ecosystem, the perfect extension of the passwords app. Only additional feature that would be nice is credit card autofill, though I know that’s not currently possible due to iOS limitations. Even without that, I could not recommend this app more! Fantastic job by the developer.

Access is the app that has been missing for such a long time. It eliminates the need for a myriad of locked notes and photo albums and stores all those important documents safely and securely. There are a few little nuances such as the “Issued On” field not being a date picker and a non persistent side bar, but these are small and don’t impact the overall experience. I don’t normally go for a subscription model but this app has so much potential I’m excited for its future development and have gone all in. It’s a great app that can only get better over time.

If entries in Access were linked to the corresponding Passwords entry it would be a companion app. But there is no linkage, so 1Password is a better companion. Use Passwords for simple sites, use 1Password where additional data is needed. IOS sorts it out.

Apple’s password app is great but it’s missing the features that this app provides. It’s being improved rapidly and the developer is very responsive.
