Unencrypted form, or even encrypted where Apple gets to know the encrypted keys, would likely make this an attractive target for various groups (of both the good and bad varieties).

Personally I plan to continue using BitWarden because it’s cross platform.
My guess is this app will be mostly just an extraction of that table from Settings.
… but yes we definitely need extra fields for storing that and lots of other related data.
I’m a 1Password user and one of the features I really like is that it saves ALL of the fields from a signup form along with the password. That has saved me a couple of times where I needed to know some value I had entered at the time I created an account.
If this is decent, I’d probably switch. I loved 1Pass 7. Then they bloated it. I’ll give them that the SSH Agent is pretty cool, but there are alternatives to that.
The experience has gotten really frustrating over the years. 1Password used to be a delight to use, now it's bloated and unbearably and inexplicably slow at times. I much preferred the native app over the current electron version. The browser extensions are finicky. I don't love that the only option is for 1p to host my vault for me, but whatever, I guess I trust them.
You might want to try our modern, open-source, cross-platform alternative[1]
The self hosted server v1 will land in the next few weeks.
It’s not uncommon to have Windows and Android in the mix even for households that are all-Apple at home.
Not to mention expectation of multi-browser support, Safari-only is not going to work.
Do you also think the Messages app is cross platform because there’s an iCloud app for Windows?
iCloud for Windows does not include a Messages app.
Not really sure which part you're confused about?
I agree it's different from like Microsoft as their hardware and walled garden is still key. But they certainly have been ramping up services especially if you consider non-IT stuff like Apple Music and TV+
> You keep claiming you’re becoming a services company, but then you keep doing things like this […]
It seems to me that Apple doesn’t see itself as a services company despite offering all sorts of services. I think they still largely see themselves as a hardware company selling Apple hardware, and the services are just there to enhance that hardware or make it more enticing.
Is there any other platform?
