Access: Passwords Companion 4+

I don’t write reviews often. Once Apple came out with Passwords, I was happy to leave 1pw and their subscription behind. While I enjoyed the app, it was too complex with my family who are way less tech savvy.

This app is a great companion to the new Passwords app by Apple. While I wish all of this functionality was included in the Passwords app, I am very happy to support these developers and their work to provide a compatible solution. This is what I have been looking for instead of just capturing detailed in a locked note. The app is simple, straightforward, and looks like a native app. Overall I have already become a fan in just a few hours and even paid for the app to support the devs.

Suggestions: I would love additional types like social security numbers or drive / Network details those aren’t deal breakers.

It would be great to be able to share records or the entire app with those in my family. That combined with Passwords app would be awesome. Right now
I can’t share records so it’s locked just to my phone.

A good complement to Apple Passwords, lets you store all the data that Apple doesn’t yet uses the same powerful encryption, nice UI, and easily syncs between all your Apple devices. My only wish was that it was multi-platform now so I could use it everywhere! 😆

Great developer too, very responsive and open to suggestions on how to make this app even more useful.

The (apparently) is no way to contact developer as help menu is empty and About has not contact information, not even a website or email address

There are lots of little things that could be improved but no way to pass along to developer other than here in a review.

So… while this app has potential, it needs a lot of more polish in data entry. Resizable windows for data entry, the ability to delete an added field easily, identity address field should be multiline filed, full name in identity should be first, middle and last, etc… etc… so many things that need improvement to be able to move from another app like 1Password) before committing to this app. The Apple security is a plus (over letting a 3rd party handle security) but the data entry should be more Apple-like. I’ll keep watching and hoping it comes along more before I’m ready to move to it.

Contacting the developer directly to pass along problems and suggestions would be most welcome.
