The synchronization of passwords through iCloud This is one of the most useful features of Apple's cloud storage platform. This is an extremely convenient way to log in with user credentials in apps, social networks and, of course, websites. However, iCloud Password Keychain had a small problem.
Unfortunately, iCloud Password Keychain is not available in some third-party web browsers. But now that has changed. Finally, Apple added an extension for iCloud passwords to the Firefox app. A very practical utility.

iCloud passwords are now available in Firefox
Firefox is one of the most popular web browsing apps on the App Store and the most recognized in the world. Plus, it's a very privacy-focused web browser, so Apple's new iCloud password extension will come in handy.
iCloud passwords are built into Safari and other apps in the Apple ecosystem, but not other apps like Firefox or Microsoft Edge. The new extension will automatically fill in passwords and securely from iCloud Keychain.
Additionally, the extension is also capable of generate verification codes which you can configure via a QR code. The Firefox extension will also save new passwords and sync them across all of each user's Apple devices.
But there is still a lot of work to be done. The iCloud Keychain Passwords extension for Firefox works great on a Mac, but still not compatible with Firefox on Windows.
If you have a Windows PC, you can access iCloud Keychain passwords through the official iCloud for Windows app. We don't know if Apple plans to offer support for its iCloud Keychain in Firefox in this operating system.
Apparently, this new extension for Firefox was not created by Apple. It was developed by a third party and recently acquired by the firm with the bitten apple logo. A very useful feature for many users used to using Firefox on their Apple devices.
To add a new extension in the Firefox for Mac application simply Go to the main menu and select the Extensions option. From there, find the “iCloud Passwords” extension and click the “Add to Firefox” button. Make sure the extension is owned by Apple before adding it to your web browsing app.
