This sounds like corpo bullshit. Apple is a shitpile and so is microsoft but you can absolutely make it work. Bitwarden is free for individuals and works great for this. Its open source and you could even self host it but you dont need to. Good luck. Consider checking linux since that corpo trash is proliferating all things fucked up atm. (Microsoft, apple and google are fascism supporters)
? idk what you’re talking about, you ever use termius/termux to ssh from your phone into a vps? I just want to sync keyprints and logins but every app has high monthly fees for something that doesn’t seem that complex.
You wanted to sync passwords and keys. I suggested bitwarden. Its foss and works well even the hosting is free which I consider awesome.
Simple solutions being unnecessary expensive on apple is a feature, not a bug.
Yes i have used termius. It is okay but iphone is just crap for poweruser/admin work, period. I now use a postmarketOS phone for that which just runs linux.
forsure, I’m just stuck in the ecosystem, no imessage is annoying
iMessage is crap as well. Its used to strengthen apples illegal monopoly. They are being sued for this.
Signal is pretty much the best for low tech users. Folks with more advanced knowledge and higher resilience expectations use matrix. Both have strong encryption and work on every device known to man.
Nah - its not crap, its much better than signal for my low tech friends. You are confusing your ideology with usability.
Yikes! We have a live one.
Apple is breaking international law with their software. I suggest you start reading about it and not accuse others of ideology without having any idea what you‘re talking about.
Edit: another bot. 130 comments, zero posts. Thats the third one in as many days after two years of silence. Zuck is running interference it seems.
