🔑🧵 iOS 17, macOS Sonoma, and passkeys (1/n)

Password manager apps can now save and sign in with passkeys across the entire OS — all apps and websites — by integrating with the AuthenticationServices framework's updated Credential Provider Extensions!

This will include third-party web browsers like Chrome and Firefox on macOS, because macOS 13.3 added support for web browsers to use iCloud Keychain’s passkeys (and now third-party app’s passkeys)!

@rmondello So does this mean I can auto-fill any iCloud password in Chrome? That's the biggest problem I have with iCloud Passwords, because I need Chrome for work but there's no way to easily use iCloud passwords there.

Attached: 3 images ‼️🔑 macOS Sonoma brings Apple’s password manager to Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and other browsers using their extensions stores with the “iCloud Passwords” browser extension. You can AutoFill passwords and one-time codes, save new passwords, and right-click QR codes to set up code generators. If you’re running the macOS Sonoma public or developer beta, you can try it right now! Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/icloud-passwords/pejdijmoenmkgeppbflobdenhhabjlaj Edge: Coming soon. [*] I am not breaking news here; this is public information.
