I've only ever used Apple's iCloud Keychain [0]. It has always worked great, and seems to have good security in order to enable; it asks for the local login password that you signed onto one of your other devices with, but it feels scarily easy to see ALL your passwords in plaintext with just a single Face ID authentication.

I'd be more comfortable with bio-authenticating per password (though that might use more battery) and preferably asking for the password/code if you look up more than 5 passwords too quickly, but I'd rather have to trust a big company than a smaller third-party that gets acquired and sold around.

What are the advantages of LastPass and other password managers over iCloud Keychain?
