Same, but I also use chrome a lot so I use chrome and apple.
I’m always curious what the benefit of using a 3rd party password manager is over these tools that work just fine.
Well the immediate disadvantage you are facing is that you have passwords stored in two places.
Sure, but on iOS and MacOS Safari, at least, you can specify which store to choose your password from.
So there’s only one extra step to fill in a password.
They're bringing Apple's password manager to 3rd party apps – i.e., Chrome – in the new macOS version.

The main benefit is being able to access passwords without using a web browser.
For example, say you need to tell someone your credit card over the phone. With Safari you need to go into Settings > Auto Fill > Edit > unlock, and finally you need to click on the card number to view it. That's a horrible process.
With 1Password I can hit a global hotkey, you might use control-space for example, type 'card' and there it is. 1Password even has hotkeys to quickly copy the name/number/expiry/security code with a single key press (for each one).
Another big advantage is most password managers have OTP support. Safari and Chrome do not.
@abhibeckert @richard_wagner Apple keychain passwords can be accessed with using a web browser - in the Settings app on iOS, and in Keychain Access on macOS.
