This is DEFINITELY going to come in handy.
Suppose you were somewhat on the fence as to whether to upgrade to macOS Sonoma when it arrives. In that case, it’s been reported that the current beta version allows Mac owners who opt to use Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, or another browser to use Apple’s Password Manager for filling passwords.
Per MacRumors as well as developers and beta testers who’ve tried the current build, the operating system can use their iCloud Keychain passwords with non-Safari browsers at this time, autofilling passwords and one-time codes. Third-party browsers can also save new passwords.
Apple has created an iCloud Passwords Chrome extension which is available for macOS Sonoma users. The extension can be downloaded and installed to access Apple passwords on the Chrome browser or any Chromium-based browser. Apple has also provided an extension for Microsoft Edge users.
It’s also been noted that Google and other web browser developers have begun implementing support for Passkeys, which is being developed as a password alternative and was introduced in 2022.
If you’ve had a chance to test the macOS Sonoma betas, please let us know about your experience in the comments.
