iOS 18 Passwords App: All the Features
iOS 18 Passwords App: All the Features
With iOS 18, Apple created a standalone Passwords app that streamlines login and password management. You've been able to store password...
Apple is adding the Passwords app to iTunes for Windows
Huh. Seems like an odd choice, I would have expected it to be part of iCloud for Windows, iCloud.com, or maybe a browser extension.
That was distributed by the Microsoft App Store, which is trash compared to basically every other windows package manager.
But more importantly I will never trust MS with anything privacy-related, especially distribution of a password database frontend, and Apple likely has focus group data that says the same. Since privacy is apple’s new branding drive, it probably made sense to scuttle the MS partnership.
What about browser extension?
Can you export passwords now?
You can even get to your logins and passwords on a Windows PC because Apple is adding the Passwords app to iTunes for Windows.
Well that seems ridiculous. Let me know when they publish browser extensions.
they actually do have chrome and firefox extensions for the old icloud passwords and bookmarks so id imagine they get updated but who knows. they also were the bare minimum and worked just enough
This is taking Sherlocking to a whole new level.
i mean this is basically all the same functionality passwords has had for many many years, just now in a separate app.
I think this will be a hard sell unless you’re already all into the Apple eco system and don’t need access from other devices. Or you don’t use any password manager already.
