I'd like to know what people think of Bitwarden on all platforms? I'm currently using the Apple Passwords app, but I'm considering Bitwarden. I've heard a lot of good things about it. I'd like to have something that works on Windows as well as iOS. So any experiences would be appreciated. Is there any way to import my passwords from the Passwords app?

@J3317 It allows you to open apps, it gives you access to live captions, you can open .brf files, and take Braille notes. There might be a couple of other things, but that's what immediately comes to mind.

@cublanco No you can't. You have to have a Braille display in order for it to work.

Using the Mantis, I can get most aspects of Braille Access mode to work. I just can’t get Braille notes to save. Somehow, I got it to work before I restarted the phone, but it won’t work no matter what I do.

@Pawpower This is using the new Braille access mode on an iPhone 16 Pro Max.

@DerryLawlor Chord S is not working for me now on the Mantis. Ever since I restarted my phone, I can't get Chord S to work. It's working with the Focus still, but not the Mantis. I'm still trying to work out where notes are saved.

@DerryLawlor Chord S will save your notes. They are just numbered notes. I haven't tried to rename them.

@LeonianUniverse @dhamlinmusic I have not experienced this yet. I'm using a Mantis on an iPhone 16 Pro Max.

Braille access is working very well with the Mantis. I wasn't sure if it would, since the Mantis has a QWERTY keyboard. It seems to automatically switch to Braille input when you start a new Braille note. You do not have to press F12 to enter Braille input mode. The live captions are awesome and they will really help deaf-blind people a lot. They are surprisingly accurate from my limited testing.

@technolass I'm living on the edge as well. I installed the beta on my iPhone 16 Pro Max, and so far, no problems. I've found a couple of small bugs, but nothing major. I've already submitted feedback, and I'll continue to do so as I find things.

The Braille Mantis is now working with Braille Access. I’m using Shift-B as the key to start and stop Braille Access.

@technocounselor I have a Mantis and I see that I can assign a keyboard command for Braille Access mode. I haven't tried it yet, but it looks like it's doable.

@wiljames @cublanco @vol4life8657 To use Braille Access on the Mantis, you need to assign a key or keys to toggle it. I’m just trying to decide what keys I want to use, so I can try it out.

@tinygirl I've survived the update. LOL Everything is functioning as it should be. It's a beta, so I'm expecting problems along the way.

2025-06-09

@evilcookies98 @JamminJerry @wiljames @cublanco The keyboard seems to be functioning just fine. I normally use BSI, but I’m specifically using the onscreen keyboard for this post.

2025-06-09

@evilcookies98 @wiljames @JamminJerry @cublanco My update is 15.4 GB. This is on an iPhone 16 Pro Max. Just waiting for it to download still.

2025-06-09

Downloading the betas now. See you after the restart.

2025-06-08

@lynnskyi They really are great memories. I wasn't going to bother downloading them, but I'm so glad I did.

@HarmonthSeeker That's the good thing about AudioMo: it's never too late to post. You can post as little or as much as you want to. #AudioMo

I just finished downloading all of my live videos from Facebook. I wanted to get them all before they are deleted. There are so many of Ginevra when she was little. She will be 16 next Sunday. These videos remind me of how much she used to interact with me. She doesn't as much as she used to. I guess part of it is just her age, and also she just isn't as outgoing as she used to be.
