Can chrome make use of keychain passwords

[ojobson]

Is there a way that MacOS can fill in passwords in Chrome? I don't really want to export my passwords to Chrome if I can avoid it, as I would rather not have all my passwords in my iCloud and Google account. (I have to use Chrome for Work, but use Safari for most other things).

If I did decide to export passwords to Chrome / my google account - is there a tool that can keep them in sync / up to date on both systems?

What other alternatives do people use? Is there a seamless password manager that works across the most platforms and can be trusted? I have Touch ID on phones and MacBook, so it would ideally need to work with that. I have a windows machine too, so I suppose it would be useful to have something that also worked on that, rather than just keep my passwords on apple devices, but Windows compatibility would be a 'nice to have' rather than a 'must'.

Cheers

I don’t think keychain works with Chrome. I l don’t use Chrome but can’t get it to work with Firefox. I use 1Password because it works on everything and from the videos I’ve watched it doesn’t have security issues.

I recommend a password manager. I use Bitwarden, and from my understanding it is secure and can be trusted. It supports many browsers and devices, and you can access it through a web vault (I guess other password managers also has that function).

Back in the day (5-6 years ago), Chrome did use Keychain but dropped it for their own solution.

There is an extension for Chrome and iCloud for Windows.

iCloud Passwords

iCloud Passwords lets you fill passwords from iCloud Keychain when signing in to websites using Chrome.

Personally, I use Keychain and a 3rd party password app and simply copy/paste from them to other browsers when needed. Not using their password managers, so not worried about keeping anything in sync over there.
