No. iCloud Keychain isn't cross platform. I need Bitwarden for cross platform since I have alot of stuff on my work Windows PC. Unless Apple makes an extension for Firefox, I don't see that happening.
They might. Apple already makes iCloud Keychain for Chrome and Edge on Windows. It's not out of the realm of possibility.
1Password , bitwarden etc are in a hole other league then apples.
Apple are not there yet and will not be for some time
I believe the issue is that an app has to be installed via the App Store for it to ever be granted keychain access, and Firefox (the only browser I use) doesn't install that way.
I also use Bitwarden because of this and the fact it's better than keychain for filling in passwords. You can define which fields on any site it auto-fills, and I use this for one site that requires three pieces of information, and my home router which keychain refuses to recognise as having a password field.
This function has been (I think temporary) removed in beta 2.
I can confirm this is gone today (June 27th, 2022).
Glad you posted it, thought I was crazy.
Yep. I use that on both iOS and macOS and I haven't found anything better. I'll continue using it.
Was this feature omitted from the initial iOS 16 release as it does not look like this on my phone.
