Ricky Mondello explains how switching password managers in 2026 can be efficiently done on iPhones or iPads using a new secure, system-level data interoperability feature that supports comprehensive and phishing-resistant export and import of credentials between apps like 1Password and Apple Passwords. This capability arose from collaborative standards developed around passkeys, culminating in the open Credential Exchange Format, enabling password and passkey transfers without creating intermediate files. He also offers practical advice for managing the transition process, emphasizing data ownership, backup retention, and aligning new workflows with the improved Apple Passwords app features across Apple platforms.
