However, not every service can be trusted with its confidential information. As a result, “password managers” have become popular, offering to store all authorization data in one archive and access them using only one master password. This is the first Chrome extension to support iCloud Keychain on Windows, as before Apple had only offered an iCloud Bookmarks tool for older Windows 7 and 8 PCs, which reached over 7 million users.In the modern world, any of us has so many passwords that it is not possible to remember all of them. Meanwhile, as Windows users create new credentials, these, too, will be synced to their iCloud Keychain so they can later be pulled up on Mac, iPhone and iPad devices, when needed.

Once installed, Chrome users on Windows will be able to access any passwords they saved or allowed iCloud Keychain to securely generate for them within Safari for macOS or iOS. Now, when Windows users access the new Passwords section, the dialog box that prompts the download will properly function. That changed on Sunday, according a report from 9to5Google, which found the new Chrome add-on had been published to the Chrome Web Store late on Sunday evening.

This directed users to download the new extension, but the link was broken, as the extension was not yet live. After the update, a “Passwords” section appeared in the app designated by the iCloud Keychain logo. Apple didn’t formally announce the new feature, but reports of an iCloud Passwords extension had already been referenced in the release notes of the new iCloud for Windows 10 (ver 12), which arrived at the end of January.
