Some password options are better than others, starting with a trusted password manager. Apple users can get away with using the built-in password manager, as it's secure and supports two-factor authentication, and there's nothing inherently wrong with storing your passwords in something like Google Chrome. A dedicated password manager gives you an extra layer of security, data portability, and flexibility to use across different operating systems.

Password managers that are secure, feature-rich, and cross-platform are good options for 1Password and Bitwarden. Before you move to another service, you'll need to export your passwords.

As soon as your transfer is complete, we strongly suggest you dispose of this file because it will be in a different format and will be unencrypted.
