I use both 3rd party and keychain. It’s pretty easy to keep them in sync as keychain automatically asks if you want to store or update a password when a new one is added/changed.
Got a tip for us?

Surely the OP remembers not reading an agreement and accepting the terms.
I tried that for a bit but was just easier for me to rely on the one password manager, but yeah it's possible to do that as well.
Even when you use a 3rd party password manager to populate the username/password, keychain will ask if you want to add/update.
I unchecked the iCloud option in the autofill section of the password settings so it no longer does that for me.
anyone with an apple device, email and password can access your passwords. I cant see the part where access from apple device only would make any difference.
I am more or less stuck half way around the world in Vietnam far away from my homecountry and my homecountry simcard is set on hold since I would not need it while traveling (so i thought) Many things are digital today, medicine app, doctors app, travel insurrance app, bank, payment service, travel apps and so on and so on.
access if and when I need them will potentially be a problem

It works even when you do that. My default is Enpass but keychain will prompt to add/update.
Sorry I misunderstood, I have Enpass AND iCloud Keychain selected. That’s why mine will work that way and yours doesn’t.
That's strange it does for you. It does not do that for me. iCloud Keychain will never prompt me to add a password. I was just setting up 1password for my son's phone and with both checked it did do as you describe, but as soon as I unchecked iCloud Keychain, his phone stopped prompting to add/update to iCloud Keychain when he entered a password.

Yeah, I can see the frustration in your situation. But not anyone with a random Apple device, email and password can just obtain someones passwords if you use 2 factor authentication on your Apple ID.
Honestly I do not know when and how I bite the bait for keychain it just happened. The name is Icloud Keychain so I never expected that I would be in a situation where I could not get access to my passwords.. I honestly thought I could logon to icloud from any browser and access them. If it was a question of money I do pay about 10$ for icloud each month
No the passwords are encrytped on device and can only be unencrypted by another Apple device. Hence you can’t get at them without an Apple device.
It still does not make sense to me.
All I know is I feel sure about moving to another OS now more than ever ....that standing up and pulling up my pants was the right thing ....I can feel apples dry elbow irritating my sphincter 😊 any deeper I would be a puppet
Great! Hopefully you won’t live to regret the move at a later date.
really? Once someone is in the vault itself, it’s game over. The fact you can or cannot export from that vault doesn’t make it anymore or any less safe.
3rd party for password are the way to go IMO. More freedoms, cross platforms, can export from them and import into another one if you want to switch brands, and more. I’m also finding I like to use cross platform stuff more and more so I’m not tied down to just 1 platform, and I can switch easily if I want.
Im the same mostly but as yet I haven’t found another platform worth switching to!
At this point you're probably better off forgetting about your saved passwords. Start doing password resets on the services you use most; once you have those done you'll have to do an occasional password reset when you use something you haven't in a while. It shouldn't be that big a deal after dealing with the stuff you use most often.
I use so many different ones now, it’s great to use a 3rd party password manager. I‘m not loyal to any platform. As much as I dislike Windows, I just dislike Apple less 😂. I’ve been toying with a Linux for a while now too.
Please do keep us updated when you receive an answer from the European Commission
I found you need an Apple device to start with.
Exporting it from that point is not bad.
But you need that iDevice to access the list.

I've not read every post, so this may have been said and/or discounted already but ...
If you know your Apple-ID details, borrow someone's Macbook, get them to create a new user for you, then log in and use that to log in to your iCloud and export the keychain to a file. Then log out of your iCloud and have them trash the userid.
