Choosing the best password software for Mac boils down to a few key factors, some of which might seem obvious, but together, they help you pick the right one. First off, security is a must. The software should have solid security measures to protect your sensitive data and online accounts. Then, there’s macOS compatibility—remember, not all password managers work smoothly on Mac. Ease of use is also important—make sure the solution is up to date with today’s UX standards and doesn’t leave you constantly hunting for the manual. Extras, like additional features or compatibility with other devices, are nice to have, but the essentials we’ve covered here should be your main focus when choosing the right password manager for Mac.
Apple Keychain password manager is a free and fairly secure tool for Apple devices, built right into macOS and iOS. It’s great for storing and autofilling your credentials, but while that might seem enough, it has some limitations compared to third-party options like NordPass. For one, it doesn’t work on other systems like Android or Windows. While it uses industry-standard AES encryption, it doesn't match the speed or level of security offered by the XChaCha20 encryption used by NordPass. Plus, iCloud Keychain lacks some important features, like a password generator, data breach scanner, and password health checker—tools that can significantly improve both your password management and online security.
