If the Apple brand has often been criticized for being very closed in on itself and reluctant to offer its functionalities outside ofits ecosystem, things seem to be changing slightly in Cupertino. In recent months, Apple has made efforts to make its services more open, and has also taken the opportunity to make Apple Music and others, real advertising tools for the Apple brand. The Cupertino company is indeed increasingly interested in potential customers who do not yet use Apple products, and who could discover the brand with services,like Apple Music.
As further proof of this opening of its functionalities to the greatest number of people, Apple has just implemented an extension of its iCloud keychain, its in-house password manager, on Chrome, the internet browser of rival Google.
An extension that changes everything?
This little new feature should make life easier for many Mac users who use Chrome as their default browser. The extension will also be available on Windows computers, but using atrousseau iCloudon these devices is less likely, even if Apple explains in its press release that the passwords which will be created on Windows devices linked to the iCloud account will be directly synchronized there, so that they are accessible from an Apple device. In other words, if you have a computer running Windows and you synchronize your passwords with your iCloud keychain, they will end up on your iPhone or iPad.
Even more simply, if you use Safari and Chrome on the same user, a password that is saved on one of the two browsers will necessarily be automatically synchronized on the other.
The extension is available on the Chrome Web Store, the link to download it isright here.
