So I no longer have to worry about my MacBook’s fan no longer firing up and my battery draining when I’m not doing something where I would expect it (like using a Chromium-based app like Miro). ![]() In fact, having used it like this for a few days, Passwords feels like something Apple should consider moving out of System Preferences/Settings and into its own stand-alone app.įinally, leaving 1Password behind has meant I can cut my ties with Dropbox too. This works particularly nicely on iOS where it really does feel like an app of its own.
