Keychain Sync

from blog The Desolation of Blog, | ↗ original
I just bought an iPhone 7, and I wanted to sync my Mail and Twitter accounts from my Mac. There used to be an option in iTunes to sync Mail accounts with your iOS device, but that option has been removed, unfortunately. So, what's the new "solution" for this problem? As far as I can tell, Apple now forces you to manually set up all Mail and Twitter accounts on your iOS devices. The account setup process is not particuarly complex, and you can follow your Mac settings as a guide. However, it can be a chore to type in passwords on your iPhone, especially if you follow the best practice of generating long, random passwords containing special characters. I wanted some way to get my passwords from my Mac onto my iPhone, and iTunes sync no longer works. The natural fallback solution is to use a password manager.
