How to import your old passwords into the new Apple Passwords
chasm said:xyzzy-xxx said:I won't use any password manager that puts my data into any cloud in order to synchronize. Using Safe+ synchronization is done via WiFi and data is kept on my devices.Apple doesn't get "your passwords." They get an encrypted file they can't open. The passwords can only be decrypted on device.By all means, keep using Safe+ if you prefer it. There are several high-quality password managers around (not you, Lastpass). But the Apple Passwords app has the security you say is important, and much more importantly it will get your mom and dad and other people who didn't grow up to be computer nerds to FINALLY use an organized password system.
Apple's Calendar had a bug that was only recently fixed, allowing decrypted access to iCloud data. Apple's Passwords app had a bug to allow Siri to read aloud your passwords.
A cloud put your data online – this is an additional risk no matter what encryption is used.
Wi-Fi can be intercepted locally – but here also applies that data is encrypted twice (by WiFi and by the password manager) and it's a much lower risk than putting your data in the cloud. -

Apple's App Store changed the software world 17 years ago
The current design of the App Store does not work well with more than 1 million apps available.
It was better when iTunes was available on the desktop featuring an app section and product categories were more prominent.
Now it is driven by search (which does not work well) and ads which are on top income for Apple.
