Passwords Cross-Platform

Option 1: iCloud Passwords on Windows

Apple provides an iCloud Passwords extension for Chrome and Edge on Windows:

  1. Install iCloud for Windows
  2. Enable Passwords in the iCloud for Windows app
  3. Install the iCloud Passwords browser extension in Chrome or Edge
  4. Your Safari passwords now autofill on Windows

Option 2: Cross-Platform Password Manager

Recommendation: If you use both platforms daily, Bitwarden (free) or 1Password (paid) gives you the smoothest experience. If you're mostly on Apple devices with occasional Windows, iCloud Passwords with the Windows extension works fine.
