Everyone hates passwords, and everyone likes password autofill, the browser feature that automatically enters the password you’ve forgotten for the site or app that you need to log in to. Apple devices use Apple’s Keychain secure storage system for autofilling passwords, but you don’t have to use Keychain if you prefer a third-party password manager. Anyone who uses both Windows and Apple devices has a strong reason to use a third-party cross-platform password manager. The problem is changing password managers on your iPhone is not obvious, but it's not hard.
We tell you how to change password managers using 1Password; the same procedure applies to any third-party password app that supports autofill.
How to Use More Than One Password Manager
If you use multiple password managers, like 1Password and Keychain, and for some reason you don’t want to use the password stored in 1Password, tap the key icon in the lower right of the password prompt. This brings up a menu of all the password managers you’ve enabled, and you can tap on the manager that has the password you need.
