Yes, you heard that right! iOS 17 and macOS Sonoma add support for sharing passwords and passkeys in groups with friends and family.

- share passkeys, passwords, verification codes, and notes
- edits and updates seamlessly sync between group members
- end-to-end encrypted
- share with family, friends, and other close contacts
- the password manager that’s built in to iPhone, iPad, and Mac is free to use and easy to switch to :)

Apple isn't limiting its Keychain password-storing features to the Mac, iPhone, and iPad. Here's how you can extend the iCloud Keychain, so you can use your stored passwords on a Windows PC.

@rmondello @yertle @siracusa Hi @rmondello, have you tried Keychain on Windows? Although this article describes the main inconveniences, I feel it is a bit optimistic compared to what it is like to actually use it.
Regarding easy switch - impossible to import passwords on iOS and it is pretty clunky on a Mac (import CSV from other password manager in Chrome/Firefox, import from there to Safari).

@krushev @rmondello @siracusa thanks for the heads up. Is there any sort of API to make Windows apps to use the keychain? Or do we wait for Apple to potentially improve this? My current password manager is driving me crazy and I am motivated to switch

@yertle @rmondello @siracusa I doubt there is/will be an API. One can hope that one day Apple will improve the experience on Windows. Until then I’m using Dashlane. If you want to give it a try, this link gives you 6 months of premium features for free:
