Secrets 4 | Password Manager

Have been a longtime user of the app, the earlier version and now this one as well. I know Apple is giving them a run for their money, but Secrets continue to do it for me. One thing I’d love to see is randomized usernames. I’m using disposable emails for most sites now and being able to randomize that would be pretty slick, even better if it could integrate with addy.io perhaps.

This has a nice UI that feels very Appley. However it is not serviceable as my password manager without more control over password generation. You cannot create memorable or typable passwords (i.e. using word lists). There are lots of cases where autofill does not apply: not all password use is in a browser or an iOS app. For example in terminal, or a device where I am not signed into my iCloud, or Secrets is not installed, so I need to be able to create passwords that I can actually type. There's also no control over punctuation characters except on/off. This makes it impossible to create passwords that fulfill specific site requirements (of course those requirements are usually stupid, but I can't change them.)

Looks like it has been Sherlocked by Apple for iOS 18.

nice app,i am very haappy for developer to add china language support

Is it possible a toddler was smashing a bunch of buttons on an iPad and accidentally registered as an Apple dev, wrote what appears to be some kind of SwiftUI, then finished with a spit up an entire code base over babysitter’s shoulder? Dev: “Oh that’s just a little spit up, let’s make it purple cuz it’s the year of purp UI & only do the splash so we can get that 💸 cashflow goin.” ——Me: “is that why it takes 10 seconds every 5 second to open any 1 password 150x a day >> taking up 5min every 10 min I have to log in to using any app at all, leaving me with 1 second left in my day finish work?” Dev: “Goo goo ga ga” Us: “can you at least remove those painfuly useless dashboard icons that were designed for a motorcycle, yet take up 5 parking spaces inside that gigantic panel touchscreen made for a screen I can’t touch?” Me again: “fine, can we just make the app look like one app, vs 7 online boilerplate dev UI Kits pushed out by some people trying to sell mud in exchange for dough? This things is truly terrible. Been using it for over a month out of pure intent to ensure this review is based on well tested implications

upgraded computer a while ago. Upgraded iPhone after it quite syncing. Now I cannot add the iPhone to the devices. I get to the step of authorizing with another device, the iphone says it is connected to the computer (mac mini) but it just waits and spins forever. The devices are together and on the same network. So, I have a version of Secrets on the iPhone that will not sync to update the changes made by Secrets on the computer. I bought secrets for my wife, because it was clean and simple. I even bought Secrets and used it myself as a test, before I put it on my wife's devices. I use 1P. Now I regret that decision. Furthermore, my wife is vision impaired, and setting the font sizes in the system makes Secrets unreadable, due to overlapping text fields.

Updated review: It turns out my problem was an issue with the iCloud service. Once that issue was resolved, the Secrets app worked very well. Original review: After about 20 minutes of trying to get iCloud sync to work with this, I finally gave up. I understand that the developer wants peoples passwords to be a secure as possible. Unfortunately, his level of security is so secure that I could never get it to work. I will just store my passwords on my Mac mini, and forget about syncing the passwords with my iPhone.

I’ve grown accustomed to using a password manager but when I stopped using the one I was using for years, I struggled to find a replacement. I stumbled upon this app and I’ve been using it for sometime now without any problems.

Id like to start off by saying I love the concept the developers have implemented of this password manager but it needs a lot of work. Adding a device is a hassle, with notifications turned on in any device there is a bug that takes multiple tries to request authorization. The notification takes forever to come through to the device authorizing it. iCloud doesn’t sync and respond to password changes quickly and it’s pretty annoying. There’s a limit of default icons and images for the passwords. I’m glad they let you upload your own but preferably if they could grab the sites favicon that would be great. A feature request to add a “sign in with” mode since there are a lot of accounts people sign in using other accounts like Google or Microsoft to validate the sign in. 1Password does this really well and it helps keeping track of accounts. I would love to be a paying customer but it needs improvements.

Great app, my third and last. Awesome personal support!
