However, if you’re a user of 1Password or LastPass, it’s been workaround after workaround for quite some time with no real system-level support, which is arguably required for such an app to function. Luckily, iOS 12 fixes this in a major way by giving third-party password managers the iCloud Keychain blessing, meaning these apps will be treated as if it is the native iCloud Keychain counterpart....
