Problem with "apple passwords app" and subdomains.

Hi, i can still see the same problem with "apple passwords app" and subdomains.


You can replicate it like this:


Create a password:

subdomain1.siteone.com (user1:password1)


Save the password, all normal.


Create a second password with the same domain, the same user, but a different subdomain and a different password:

subdomain2.siteone.com (user1:password2)


Save the second password and "apple passwords app" will merge the subdomain1 with subdomain2, and (this is the bad part) apple passwords replaced the "password1" with "password2" with no advice.


Note:

A workaround is to create a new password on the second subdomain, with same user as the first subdomain, but with different password; and now i entered an error in the domain with the second subdomain like this:

sub1.siteone.com (user1:password1)

sub2.siteonewrong.com (user1:password2)


Save the password with the error on the domain, and then edit saved password with the wrong domain "sub2.somesitewrong.com" to "sub2.siteone.com"; i don't know why, but this will separate the passwords in "apple passwords app" and finally you will get this:

sub1.siteone.com (user1:password1)

sub2.siteone.com (user1:password2)


I know apple developer guys are really smart (thats why i use apple products) and hope they can do better enabling a way to make this without the workaround, for example, a message asking if you want to save this as different credentials than the existing one.
