Apple ID password cross-contamination with the new Passwords app?
Hello, I am seeing some weird behavior regarding the new Passwords app. I have a m3 max macbook that work provides me with a company provided apple ID (granted I don't think there is any rigid management profile with this account it just blocks downloads from the app store). This is preferable to using my personal apple ID on company hardware to avoid sharing all my personal data and just login with my personal account for things I don't care if my company knows about, like my music preferences. So, the weird behavior I am seeing is after upgrading my work machine to the macOS Sequoia Public Beta and having only using my personal apple ID to sign into Apple Music. I start test driving the new Passwords app and notice that it has seemingly exported a handful of account info and passwords from my personal apple id to my company managed one. There appears to be no rhyme or reason as to the ones that were synced between the two accounts (it snagged my personal github account info and a couple of other random stuff like my Pokemon Go account info). Luckily these being made known to the company aren't harmful to me at all, but it is concerning. I have never even searched, let alone, login to the sites and apps that the Passwords app now magically has the context to. I also can't delete them on the work machine. The process of deleting them appears to work but the next time I open Passwords they reappear (despite having logged out of my personal apple ID from Apple Music soon after this occured). I just wanted to share and see if anyone else has also had a similar experience or any insight. Thanks for your time.
