Apple Introduces iCloud Passwords Extension for Firefox on Mac

The new extension enables seamless password management in Firefox via iCloud Keychain, though it is currently unavailable for Windows users.

  • Apple has launched an official iCloud Passwords extension for the Firefox browser on macOS Sonoma and later versions.
  • The extension allows users to autofill passwords stored in iCloud Keychain and save new ones directly to the cloud for cross-device synchronization.
  • It also includes the ability to generate verification codes for two-factor authentication by interacting with QR codes.
  • The extension was originally developed by a third-party developer but has since been acquired and updated by Apple for official distribution.
  • While the extension enhances Firefox compatibility on Mac, it is not yet available for Windows, where users must rely on the iCloud for Windows app for similar functionality.
