Manage iCloud passwords on Windows? Apple has already brought the solution

Even those who use Windows can manage all their information and data on Apple's services. The Cupertino giant found a way to bridge the gap between its ecosystem and Microsoft's solutions, using a simple app.

Everything is processed through iCloud, with the app with the same name. This has now received an important new feature that opens up another area in this synchronization. We are talking about passwords, which can now be managed and accessed within Windows.

For several years, Apple has had its solution dedicated to Windows. This exists in the form of an app that gives access to parts as important as files housed in iCloud, photos, mail, contacts and calendar, or Safari bookmarks.

This app manages to keep all these elements synchronized with Windows, constantly and directly. Users can thus have their Apple ecosystem data accessible and now they have an important new feature that opens up even more the range of use.

The new version, recently released , now has the ability to access passwords that are stored in iCloud. These can be accessed and managed, always within the Microsoft system, albeit in a very peculiar way.

To edit and access all present data, users just need to use Apple's app directly. In the case of using this data, users need to install an Apple extension on Chrome or Edge.

Apple guarantees that its app stores all your passwords in an encrypted database stored on your computer. Its transfer to and from the extension in the browser is done in a secure channel, which registers all newly created credentials.

It has long been expected that Apple bet on this solution, in order to bridge the gap between its ecosystem and Windows. Many users of their smartphones and tablets have this scenario in their daily lives and thus have one more problem solved.
