I rely on the chrome password manager as I’ve been embedded in the android ecosystem for so long that it’s hard to move away.
I always have access to my passwords from chrome on my iPhone wherever I am, protected by my Google password and 2fa. It’s easy enough to just read off the screen and type into whatever device I am in front of. Its not perfect (does a bad job of app passwords when you’re running apps on iOS and storing passwords in chrome) and can be very slow to update the chrome cache on the iPhone when you’ve modified/added a password using the desktop version of chrome, but it’s not terrible.
