macOS Sonoma password manager now compatible with Google Chrome

This is excellent news that has just fallen for users of Google Chrome on macOS.

While we kindly wait for Apple’s announcements for the start of the school year, the Californian giant is spoiling us with a little surprise to wait.

Apple’s password manager soon to be expanded?

In case you didn’t know, macOS has its own password manager. This allows you, like any self-respecting manager, to store your passwords securely. You can find it directly from the system settings. The main advantage is that, thanks to iCloud, your passwords are automatically synchronized between your different Apple devices.

On the occasion of WWDC23, Apple unveiled the new version of macOS coming at the end of the year. Called Sonoma, it will land with many new features. But in addition to that, the Cupertino company will obviously take advantage of it to meet a long-standing demand from its customers.

Mac: iCloud Passwords finally arrives on Google Chrome

For the past two years, Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge users on Windows have had an extension called iCloud Passwords. However, for those who are on macOS, it is essential to go through Safari to be able to take advantage of the password manager. Except that… everyone is not necessarily a fan of Apple’s browser. This is why the apple brand confirmed on Twitter, through Ricky Mondello, that iCloud Passwords was finally going to be integrated into Chrome on macOS.

So that’s great news, which will save you from having to go through Safari if you don’t use a password manager other than Apple’s. If beta testers can already try the feature, it will however be necessary to wait a few more weeks before it is officially deployed to all users. Finally, note that Apple should do the same for Microsoft Edge in the weeks and months to come.
