Apple has released an official extension for the Windows and Mac versions of Chrome that lets you use passwords stored in your iCloud Keychain. For anyone using Chrome as their browser and iCloud Keychain instead of a dedicated password manager, it can make bouncing between Windows and Mac computers easier.
The release release means that if you used Safari to automatically generate strong passwords on other platforms, it may now be available in Chrome when prompted to sign in. Passwords created in Chrome for Windows will also be synced with iCloud again, making them available on Apple devices as well.
The extension is called iCloud Passwords and is now available in the Chrome Web Store. Details of the features were announced prematurely last week in an update to the iCloud Windows 10 app, which named ‘Chrome extension password support for Chrome extension’ as a new feature, despite the extension not being released or otherwise not announced.
