As noted by The 8-bit, the version of iCloud currently in the Microsoft App Store is 11.6.32.0, which is a downgrade of version 12 that was available yesterday. However, the description of the iCloud app still mentions support for the extension iCloud Passwords.
It’s not known why Apple pulled the latest version, but it could be due to issues many users have experienced with the Chrome extension, including two-factor authentication issues when trying to access websites and the browser extension may be slippery does not work.
Apple has released the extension of iCloud passwords for Google’s Chrome browser on Windows 10 to give users access to passwords generated in Chrome in Apple’s Safari browser. It also enables iCloud sync of passwords generated in Chrome and makes it available on Apple devices.
