    Couldn’t they just roll it into Keychain?

      They have to eventually roll out a Passwords+ subscription service that people will pay for.

        Passwords+ allows you to save passwords longer than 12 characters, import passwords from csv files and encrypt the database.

        For only 499$

      It will probably use Keychain’s backend like it does now. It seems like they’re just pulling it out of the Settings app into its own app and making it more full-featured— like the Keychain app on macOS.
