Yes, this extension was originally developed by au2001, which now sold it to Apple.

Amy idea why it doesn't seem to autofill for me? I get the prompt, but when I click on the entry the ID and password fields remain empty. I did enable it via the 6-digit code.
This is fantastic news. Very excited about this! One of the main annoyances from using Firefox was not having the iCloud passwords syncing.
Ah thanks, okay. I already wondered because I thought it was 3rd party.
Then again, it's Chrome, in Windows, so "janky" and "looks like garbage" is a bit redundant... 😏
Hopefully all of this continues to bake and I can take a serious look at it in a couple years
For now -- 1P is unmatched, especially if one needs true cross platform and device support

I’m seeing reports that it only works on macOS. Windows and Linux are not currently supported.Is it really supposed to work on a Windows PC? The extension page says "The iCloud Passwords extension is compatible with macOS Sonoma or later." and if I install it in Firefox on a PC it gives this message. The MacRumors article states that it should work on a PC or a Mac.

They did not receive any money. They agreed to hand the extension page over to Apple, which had requested it via Mozilla. The GitHub repository still exists, and that version is still open source.
Passwords are encrypted and not even Apple can access them.
Totally did not see this coming from Cupertino.
If I liked having all my eggs in one basket, I'd pounce on this ,,,, but I'll stick with the full-featured 1Password until it comes time to start cutting back on my tech subscriptions to simplify my life. Thankfully i'm nowhere near that point yet.

nevermind, doesn't seem to work on Firefox for Windows, which sucks for my gaming PC... ugh!
Clearly they want something like this:

in PC this absolutely SUCKS. Doesn't work in Firefox nor in Edge.
Installed it right away in my Mac, tho.

I'm in the same boat as you...I've got another 8 months on my 1Pass subscription, hoping Apples password manager gets a bit more polished by then so I can cancel 1Pass.
Follow-up - I still can't get this to work on Firefox/Mac/Sequoia. Installs, I activate it and then when I go to a password form, I get the prompt correct for the site. Click on it and nothing is filled in. Tried reinstalling it. Still fails.
What am I missing?

This is great. I’m still chugging along on a Mac Pro with Monterey, and I use FF so I know my browser is getting patches and updates. Having the password extension should really bump up the convenience factor. I’m assuming this will work with my Linux machine as well.
