Apple releases dedicated iCloud Passwords add-on for Firefox web browser

This could come in handy.

Apple has released a dedicated iCloud Passwords add-on designed for the Firefox web browser, allowing Firefox users to access passwords and logins stored in the Passwords app or iCloud Keychain when using Firefox on a Mac.

The extension is being distributed by Apple, but it appears that it was originally created by a third-party developer and later taken over and updated by Apple.

The iCloud Passwords extension allows for easy access to passwords and for them to be securely filled in automatically when signing into website in Firefox. New passwords created in Firefox are also saved to ‌iCloud‌ Keychain, which also distributes them across Apple devices, along with an option to generate verification codes.

Apple introduced a dedicated Passwords app within iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia 15, which houses all passwords and logins, and makes them easier to access and manage. The extension works with the Passwords app in ‌macOS Sequoia‌, but it is also compatible with macOS Sonoma. In macOS Sonoma, passwords and login information are stored in the Passwords section of the Settings app.

If you’ve had a chance to try the extension, please let us know about your experience in the comments.
