1Password
The #1 password manager
paidSecurity
1Password is the reference password manager: stores not just logins but SSH keys (with an agent!), documents, 2FA codes, and infrastructure secrets. Browser and terminal integration, Watchtower monitors breaches. Subscription-only, but the best pick for teams and families.
// Install
Your MacHomebrew in /opt/homebrew
brew install --cask 1password// What it is for
- Keeps passwords, passkeys, and SSH keys in one encrypted vault
- The SSH agent supplies keys to git and servers without copying files between machines
- Browser and app autofill removes the temptation to invent passwords yourself
- Shared vaults for a team with separate permissions
// Common questions
Is it safe to keep SSH keys in a password manager?
With the built-in agent the private key never sits on disk in the clear, and every use is confirmed biometrically. That is markedly safer than an unencrypted id_ed25519 in ~/.ssh.
1Password or Bitwarden?
1Password is paid, with a more polished interface and developer integrations. Bitwarden is free, open source, and can be self-hosted. Both solve the core problem; the choice is polish versus openness.
