1Safari extension: seamless integration with macOS and iOS

Safari is the default browser of the Apple ecosystem, optimized for Mac, iPhone, and iPad. A password manager extension for Safari naturally integrates with Touch ID/Face ID for biometric unlocking, native system auto-fill, and encrypted iCloud sync between all your Apple devices. Modern Safari extensions use the new Web Extensions APIs, ensuring excellent performance and minimal memory consumption, preserving your MacBook's battery life.

2Safari vs other browsers: why choose it?

Safari offers unmatched energy efficiency on Mac, extending your battery life by several hours compared to Chrome or Firefox. Integration with iCloud Tabs, Handoff, and Universal Clipboard makes browsing seamless between your Apple devices. If you primarily use the Apple ecosystem, Safari is the ideal choice. However, make sure your password manager also works on other browsers (Chrome, Edge) in case you need them occasionally.

3Security and privacy on Safari

Safari integrates advanced privacy features: Intelligent Tracking Prevention, Private Relay with iCloud+, and privacy report. Your password manager should respect these high standards with zero-knowledge encryption, regular security audits, and transparent privacy policy. Dark web monitoring alerts you if your credentials are compromised. For sensitive accounts, enable two-factor authentication with YubiKey or Touch ID.

4iCloud Keychain vs third-party manager on Safari

iCloud Keychain is built into Safari but lacks advanced features: no secure sharing, emergency access, or secure notes. If you collaborate with family or team, a third-party manager is essential. Developers will appreciate advanced features: SSH key storage, API tokens, certificates. For basic personal use, iCloud Keychain may suffice, but free versions of third-party managers offer much more at no extra cost.
