Chrome for iOS Getting Feature That Lets Saved Passwords Be Used in Other Apps

Thursday July 30, 2020 1:01 PM PDT by Juli Clover

Google today rolled out a new feature for iPhone users who are signed up to beta test Chrome, allowing passwords saved in Chrome to be used in other apps on the device.

Chrome passwords can be accessed on ‌iPhone‌ by going to the Passwords & Accounts section, choosing Autofill Passwords, and then selecting the Chrome option.

With this feature enabled, Chrome will function as a password management option right alongside iCloud Keychain and other password management apps like 1Password. You will be able to select Chrome as an option to look up a password when signing in to an app, as is possible now with existing password management options.

This feature is available in the Chrome Beta for iOS at the current time, and there’s no word on when it will roll out to the release version of the iOS Chrome app.

(Thanks, Aaron!)

Google product + my passwords = "NO GO". Maybe they aren't that devious, but why find out the hard way? I'll stick with Safari, thanks.

No F’ing way you’d want to give your passwords to a company who can’t be trusted with it.

There is no “maybe” about Google. They are devious liars and data mining scrapers.
