    dparedes07 Can you read the thread above and let us know if we need to make any changes to make this more obvious?

        Vlad Thank you, didn't saw this post before, Thank you Vlad.

            dparedes07 I would like to ask you what can Orion do differently so users are not confused about this?

                @Vlad On iOS (and MacOS), if i set my autofill app as Passwords then login to a page in Orion, it does not ask me to save my login information. On Safari, it asks me and automatically saves everything into the Passwords app. I don't think this is acceptable.

                  @legar I think it's private API too. If you set autofill app to another app (like Strongbox), Safari won't ask to save login information

                    Orion's Keychain is nice but integration with Apple's Passwords app would be lovely for those who are deep in the ecosystem (like me)

                    The iCloud Passwords Chrome extension is functional but limited

                    Apple Passwords would eventually replace the Orion Keychain

                        Vlad It would be really nice if passwords created in Orion would also show up in Apple's 'new' Passwords app, but that is technically impossible due to Apple's restrictions right? For that one could only use the Keychain app, am I right?

                            awesome035 Orion can not write into Apple's passwords (neither can any other app). You could potentially export Orion passwords and import them periodically.

                                In what way is this thread under review if integration is a technical impossibility at present @Vlad?

                                  oplos Different people want differnet things and we are trying to figure out what is possible. If it is strictly about integration with "Passwords" app - are there any non-Apple products that do so that we can take hints from?

                                      Hi Vlad, apologies — just wanting to clarify. Are you asking what non-Apple password manager-style products integrate well with Orion that you could model off of, or are you asking what non-Safari browsers integrate the Passwords app well?

                                        I guess what I am asking is what is the feature suggestion being proposed by this thread (and in this particular case is it feasible eg. any other non apple app is able to do similar)

                                          Vlad Have emailed support@kagi.com with video walkthroughs (54332 in the email subject for ease) — displays personal information hence my hesitance to post them here. Hope that's okay!

                                              hey there- for the record, i think this boils down to the issue mentioned in this post: https://orionfeedback.org/d/6932-suggest-a-password-from-a-3rd-party-password-managers-automatically/7

                                              orion may not be implementing the autofill passwords api entirely correctly. the above is about the credential provider the poster is creating for Pass, but it applies equally to Apple Passwords (this thread) or other password providers (for me, Strongbox- this is what I use in safari and in other native macos credential fields, but nothing appears in Orion at all). Looks like Orion needs to pass at least one serviceIdentifier for OS-level password providers to work.
