Nice UI, password rules too limited
Update: I was subscribed for a while to encourage development but passphrase generation is table stakes for a PW manager and nearly 3 years later (see dev reply below) there's no hint of it. This app is in maintenance mode. I give up.
This has a nice UI that feels very Appley. However it is not serviceable as my password manager without more control over password generation. You cannot create memorable or typable passwords (i.e. using word lists). There are lots of cases where autofill does not apply: not all password use is in a browser or an iOS app. For example in terminal, or a device where I am not signed into my iCloud, or Secrets is not installed, so I need to be able to create passwords that I can actually type.
There's also no control over punctuation characters except on/off. This makes it impossible to create passwords that fulfill specific site requirements (of course those requirements are usually stupid, but I can't change them.)

Response from developer
Thanks for the feedback. I'll count your +1 for furhter password generation options.
Just very easy to use
Been using this app for a few years now and it’s just very straight forward to use. Does what you want without superfluous fluff or fuss, it links up to your iPhone too which is massively helpful and the interface looks better than Apple’s Passwords
Issues with device authorisation
There are issues with device authorisation requests not arriving on any pre-approved devices. This is a major security issue that should be resolved ASAP.
Good
Good application
Great password manager for those working in an Apple ecosystem
This might not have all the bells and whistles of other password managers but Secrets is solid and not as expensive as many others. Love it so far.
