[Software]Apple makes it easier for you to forget your passwords: iCloud keychain comes to Chrome

[SougarLord]

 

In an era in which the privacy of users is so at stake (especially in Spain), it is important to have tools that allow us to keep issues such as our passwords under control. If you are a user of the Apple ecosystem, we have good news for you: the iCloud keychain comes to Google Chrome in the form of an extension.

 

Apple has launched an extension for the browser that will allow us to use the passwords saved in our iCloud keychain. Thus, we can synchronize and use the Apple cloud passwords in Google Chrome in other operating systems, such as Windows.

 

This extension comes in iCloud version 12.0 and has a very important advantage: not only does it allow us to use the passwords saved on Apple devices, but it also allows us to synchronize new passwords for new sites in Chrome and in other operating systems.

 

ICloud Keychain, in Chrome

 

 

If we update our iCloud application to version 12.0, a new section called "Passwords" will appear. Clicking on it, it will take us to the download page of the Google Chrome extension in the browser store. And those of us in the Apple ecosystem greatly appreciate this move.

 

The extension gives us the ability to manage our passwords with iCloud security on different platforms, without needing to be tied to Apple devices, including MacBooks, iPads and iPhone. Also, in a comfortable way; Whenever we want to use an iCloud password, we just have to use the extension and choose the one we need.

 

Of course the extension is absolutely free and can be downloaded even without going through the iCloud software update steps. However, for it to work, you must have version 12.0 downloaded for it to work. Since it works for the browser, we can use other alternative operating systems to macOS such as Windows 10. You can download it manually from this link.

 

This is the last step for Apple to open up to new systems and open its ecosystem a little more, so that we do not have to depend on third-party software to help us with Apple password synchronization. It is to be expected that, progressively, this extension will appear in other browsers besides Google Chrome.
