Can someone explain what 1Password gives that iCloud Keychain doesn’t? Is it just the cross platform thing?

Because I use iPhone and Mac and iCloud Keychain works really well, I don’t even think about it.



Access to your passwords outside of iOS / macOS.


For me, 2FA tokens and easy shared vaults.


It's actually not recommended to keep your 2FA tokens and passwords at the same place (i.e. your 1Password vault). The whole point of 2FA is the separation (something you _know_ and something you _have_).
