How do I create a shortcut to passwords in Mac OS Ventura

In the past this worked by creating a shortcut to 'Passwords.prefPane'. In Ventura this ceased to work though: The operation couldn't be completed. No such file or directory. Where is this hidden in Ventura?

Thanks a lot!

OK, I got a step further now. All the prefpanes moved into "HD/System/Library/Prefpanes" now. Adjusting the shortcut accordingly made it work again and I can open my saved passwords with a simple click in the MenuBar.

No it's the built in Password manager (iCloud keychain) from MacOS, which can still be found in 'System Settings'. Using the Shortcuts App I generated a shortcut button in the Menu bar, which upon clicking on it would open the Password manager without having to navigate to System Settings/Passwords first. It used to work in Mac OS Monterey but not anymore in Ventura, because the path to 'Passwords' seems to be different now.

Apple redesigned the System Preferences that was in Monterey to the current Settings quagmire in Ventura 13.2. Any custom Shortcut that was dependent on a specific Monterey prefpane very likely is now broken, and may remain so due to Apple's penchance for change for changes sake.


I see no actions designed for this purpose in Ventura.
