bitwarden, a competing password manager from 1Password, is also making an app for watchOS. in a Closed beta for a few daysOf course, this version for the Apple Watch isn’t a full-fledged password manager on the wrist. Its goal above all is to provide simplified access to the two-factor authentication tokens that are increasingly required by websites and applications. If so, you will be able to see the icon on your watch, which can be useful depending on the situation.
While waiting to be able to test the final version of the app, This Bitwarden documentation page It gives a good idea of what to expect. The app will only display temporary 2nd authentication codes, not passwords. The user will see a menu and will have to choose the site or service, nothing will be automatic in this aspect. So it should still be more practical to use a web browser extension, but that may be an option on a computer or smartphone other than yours.
Bitwarden specifies in pass that data is stored in the secure enclave, but you should always set a code on your watch to limit unwanted access. This is general advice that’s valid even without using this app, especially since the iPhone linked to your Apple Watch can automatically unlock when it’s nearby and you have the device on your wrist.
If you are using Bitwarden, you can apply to participate in the beta program at this address.
