I'm honestly surprised to not only see this extension posted on HN, but for it to be upvoted so many times.

This is an old extension and I can tell you from personal experience, It doesn't work.

I do productivity and work stuff on my Macbook and have a Windows desktop machine for games and movies. I have tried for several years to figure out a solution that would let me use the iCloud keychain to store all u/p and let me use them across browsers and desktops.

I have tried every combination of uninstall/reinstall/change permissions etc with the extension on Windows 10 and it doesn't do anything.

Pro-tip: Don't use software by companies who explicitly hate cross-platform software when you need said software to work cross-platform.

For credentials/secrets, there are other tools that actually does a really decent job at being cross-platform (including iOS/Android). Two of these are 1Password and BitWarden (FOSS as well). I'm a happy user of the former, but lots of people (including many here on HN) sing praise about the latter.


Yeah It’s an old extension and doesn’t work great but it sort of works. I had to disable autocomplete in forms for it because it would break even apple’s login screen - couldn’t submit (some js error from the injected extension code). now i just use it from the button in the toolbar and that gives me the password
