@redzacke Tried this and it didn’t work sadly. I installed it but it threw up some gallery error and the extension just doesn’t recognize the iCloud app. Is there really no way to get this working on browsers besides Edge/Chrome?

@patrickkrs said in iCloud Passwords extension:

@j-op Which extension did you use for authentificator app?

I am using the official Microsoft Authenticator extension from the Chrome Store.

@icebluelugia it worked for me by just doing what @knownasWoolf said and then just re-opening opera gx

@karthurai Maybe the iCloud Keychain extension is broken because I just tried it on Edge and Chrome and got the same error. Wonder if it's somehow related to me putting off those Windows updates.

@j-op It worked for me just fine, I downloaded the chrome extension through opera and when it opened, I put in the code, refreshed the page, and it worked.

@cadenpalmtree I tried it again and this time it worked. I assume they've updated either iCloud for Windows, the Chrome extension or both and that has resolved the issue.

Sidenote: To get the iCloud Passwords App inside of iCloud for Windows to sync my passwords I had to log out and log in again.

Thanks for pointing out that it worked for you!
As I said earlier, I switched over to Microsoft Authenticator on all my devices but it's good to know that I have iCloud available as a fallback solution.

Hi i tried this aswell but couldnt get it to work, dont know if i do it wrong ? i extracted the extension folder and saved it on another location, but when i go to extensions and "dev" i only get the button "upload new addon" and when i click that button i can only upload 1 file and not the folder. Am i missing something ?

Not sure if this may help, but I had to disable my antivirus protection before I could get the iCloud for windows app to enable password and keychains.

It's still not seemless though -- the browser forms do not autofill username/passwords, but it does trigger the extension and allow you choose "Manage Passwords..." with icloud and then copy/paste into the username and password fields.
