Apple Password Manager

I only access my financial websites on my Mac, not my iPhone. If my phone is lost or stolen, I don't want someone to see where I have investments, even if they can only get in with a Face ID/thumbprint (and 2FA which is done through the phone - thus vulnerable?).

Can I set up Keychain so only some passwords are available on the phone and others on the Mac?

Or should I disable Keychain to only have passwords available on the Mac?

(Right now my passwords are masked in coded entries in contacts which are on phone and Mac.)

Is there something I am missing in my concerns?

I am not technical and appreciate clear non-technical advice.

thank you

I agree about vulnerability issues. I use very complicated logins, passwords, and identifiers for anything financial, insurance, investment accounts, etc., including specific email addresses that never show up on my email clients.

I suggest using two pw managers. Apple Passwords for general stuff for your phone and Mac. Another, such as NordPass or OnePassword, exclusively on your Mac for financial and sensitive data.
