apps like 1Password and LastPass.
There's already a Passwords feature built into Apple's operating systems,
but it is hidden in the Settings app and it can be a little difficult to
find for those who are not familiar with it.
Apple has been gradually introducing new password features, such as storing >> logins and passwords, supporting one-time login codes, and offering
password generation options directly in Safari.
Like the existing Passwords section in Settings, the dedicated Passwords
app will be built on iCloud Keychain, Apple's feature that is able to sync >> login and password details across Apple devices. It will support all of the >> features that Passwords in Settings supports, and it will also work on the >> Vision Pro and Windows PCs.
The app includes logins and passwords for websites, Wi-Fi network
passwords, and Passkeys, a feature that uses Face ID or Touch ID to log
into websites instead of a password. Data from the app can be automatically >> inserted into websites and apps when a user logs in.
Apple's aim with the Passwords app is to encourage customers to use
stronger passwords and avoid repeating passwords for multiple websites and >> services.
Apple will be competing with longtime third-party password services like
1Password and the company does plan to allow customers to import their
passwords from other services.

I see no reason to switch from Bitwarden.

I see no reason to switch from Bitwarden.
And I see no reason to switch from 1Password AND Bitwarden.

I'm happy with Bitwarden as well. But I'll take a look at Apple's new Passwords app when it's released. Nothing to lose for looking.
The last time I totally rejected an Apple app was when the broke Podcasts (1.0) away from iTunes. In my view it was mostly useless. Maybe it has improved over the years, but I've never looked back.
