Keychain coming to Chrome

Looks like a Chrome extension for keychain is on the way!

iCloud for Windows Gaining Support for iCloud Passwords Chrome Extension - MacRumors

This is good news for anyone who uses keychain instead of a password manager. I think it's one of the building blocks in expanded keychain functionality, it will only be a matter of time before Apple adds support for 2FA codes.

I use a password manager as I also (begrudgingly) use Windows, I don’t think I can be bothered switching back.

Yep I'm in the same position. It is possible to get macs at my workplace but you have to fight for them. I run KDE Neon in a VM and work as much as I can on there rather than in Windows.

It would be good if this was cross browser.

Apple should make a password manager that's free like lastpass. Cross platform.

how is keychain any different to a password manager?

The majority are paid for premium features but if Apple made it they might be able to release it for free.

Thanks for the heads up, I've turned signatures off on the forum and thought I deleted what I had long ago. I've tried setting something else but the broken image link still shows up which is weird!

Loads show up broken but they get fixed when people realise they are lol

It's out, kinda. Windows client hasn't been updated yet to enable the extension.

Apple has released an official extension for the Windows and Mac versions of Chrome that lets you use passwords stored in your iCloud Keychain. For anyone who uses Chrome as their browser and iCloud Keychain in lieu of a dedicated password manager, this could make bouncing between Windows and Mac computers much easier.
