Stupid question: what does this do that iCloud Keychain doesn’t do?


iCloud Keychain is pretty good, but it tragically fails in the followings cases: * Any browser other than Safari. * Apps that MacOS/iOS don't parse for password fields for some reasons so you can't generate a password right there — and it's a huge pain to add them manually, practically impossible on iOS. * Cloud access (if you need your account and don't have any of your devices). Your Keychain is in the iCloud, but you can't access it from icloud.com

So Apple could easily make it much better but they haven't.


Multiple browsers, Windows, Linux, Chromebooks, encrypted documents and other item types, sharing, travel mode, item history, watchtower (security audit), ...


Among other things: TOTP.
