Briefings

The author switched from Passwords to Secretive for SSH key management on macOS, citing Secretive's ability to store keys in the Secure Enclave for maximum security. This shift occurred after the author noted Passwords' inability to manage SSH keys, a feature 1Password offered. Secretive supports ECDSA-256 keys and post-quantum MLDSA-65/87 algorithms on macOS Tahoe and later, though it requires technical configuration and cannot be backed up, limiting portability. The article was published on October 5, 2026, and the author remains dependent on Secretive until Apple integrates this functionality into the Passwords app.
