Juli Clover, MacRumors:
Apple today released a new version of its iCloud for Windows app, with the 12.5 update adding a new iCloud Keychain password manager app for Windows users.
And:
With the new password management option, those who are running Windows can access their iCloud Keychain passwords and can add, edit, copy and paste, delete, and look up usernames or passwords.
And:
New iCloud password extensions for Microsoft Edge and Windows Chrome work in tandem with the password feature, letting iCloud passwords be autofilled on a Windows machine just like in Safari.
A few things to unpack here:
Interesting to watch Apple extend the reach of their password management mechanism as password titan 1Password faces pushback on moving away from a native Mac application to Electron.
Is there anyone working on blue bubble Messages support for Windows? Android? Password management support for Android?
Are there security implications for opening up password access on Windows? Or is the encryption up and down the stack bulletproof?
