Good to know, Apple's security and privacy settings are good... giving the fact that they DON'T share any information that they harvest from you, which is a completely different thing than NOT harvesting at all. They like their customers data so much that they embedded encryption tools in their dedicated hardware design.
Regarding the Apple Password Manager, it is a good tool but ultimately I prefer to self host a solution agnostic to a company in which I hold no ability to speak or vote on their future. I recommend Bitwarden and a VPN (Wireguard) to access your vault.
@gabmartini @iwidji I really appreciate bitwarden but I’m not self hosting my own instance. I enjoy the fact that even without the needing to pay it’s multi device at the same time.
If Gabriel is hosting the password file at home e.g. then this requires a VPN to sync your data when out and about.
Port forwarding? Just put nginx in front of it or something, no VPN required.
Why do you need a vpn to access your vault?
Exactly, port forwarding + nginx or your proxy of choice for SSL and you’re done.
