      I just exported my iCloud password into a csv file on a MacBook, then imported that file into Firefox.

      The Keychain integration is done through a Chrome/Edge browser extension developed by Apple. Hopefully they will also port it to Firefox.

      Apple has made an iCloud Bookmarks extension for Firefox which is still supported, so hopefully a Keychain extension will follow.

    Good to know, Apple’s security and privacy settings are good… giving the fact that they DON’T share any information that they harvest from you, which is a completely different thing than NOT harvesting at all. They like their customers data so much that they embedded encryption tools in their dedicated hardware design.

    Regarding the Apple Password Manager, it is a good tool but ultimately I prefer to self host a solution agnostic to a company in which I hold no ability to speak or vote on their future. I recommend Bitwarden and a VPN (Wireguard) to access your vault.

      iCloud Keychain integration in Sonoma is provided by an Apple developed browser extension, it’s up to Apple to develop one for Firefox.

      Mozilla said they were working on a Firefox port to iOS, but I don’t suppose anything will be properly released until Apple opens iOS to third party software sources.

    This has been the main thing keeping me from switching to keychain full time from Bitwarden. That and password syncing with a spouse

    Good for normal people, I use Bitwarden though and don’t intend on switching. This is a win for the masses however.

    Good to hear for people that are tightly interwoven with Apple’s ecosystem and have been using it, more options is always good. I’ve personally been using 1Password on my Apple devices (which integrates nicely on iOS with Face ID and very well on my 2019 MBP with Touch ID).

    Will this work on only Mac, or can I install the extension on my work laptop Edge browser too? That would be essential for me to be able to use it cross platform.
