Say what you will, but the Apple ecosystem's Passwords app and integration works great. It locks me into their services (iCloud), but I don't see them ever charging for it or sunsetting it. (watch me eat my words in the near future)

Password App surely is a good alternative, however i don’t think there are clients for Linux or Windows? …and that is where Bit/Vaultwarden comes into play.

Google's is even better, as it is cross-platform (although same caveat of having even more dependency on your account is still true). Plus (not sure about Apple) but Google also does (portable) passkeys and OTP.

One day they could decide to suddenly block your account for no reason they would like to communicate to you or just you lose your password.

And then you will be screwed very hard with not recourse...
