Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge installed on your Windows PC.iOS 14 or newer running on your iPhone, iPad ( $505 at Amazon) or iPod Touch ( $150 at Amazon).Two-factor authentication turned on for your Apple ID.What you'll need to use the new iCloud password feature Below I'll walk you through how to set up the new Passwords tool in iCloud for Windows. If you're not using some sort of password manager, you really should start. If the T-Mobile hack taught us anything, it's that it's our job to protect our personal information, not the companies we've given it to. Using the extension and app means you'll be able to log into websites without having to hand-type the complex passwords that iCloud creates for you, and now you can create new passwords with just a few clicks of the mouse The addition of iCloud passwords on a Windows PC is a welcome update and one that I hope Apple users take advantage of. Apple still hasn't made iMessage available outside of its own hardware, but there are alternative services you can use. More specifically, you can now access your iCloud stored passwords if you use the Microsoft Edge browser through a new extension, and there's a dedicated iCloud Passwords app for Windows that lets you create and edit passwords directly on your PC. Apple recently updated the iCloud for Windows app, adding more features to the Passwords section of the app. That goes for your iCloud Drive files, email, photos and the passwords stored in your iCloud Keychain.
Owning an iPhone and a Windows PC and accessing the same pool of information just got a whole lot easier.
