On: Apple passwords deserve an app

[sowbug]

I don't understand. Chrome and Firefox don't have platforms. Which means they run pretty much everywhere they're allowed to.

Apple is the only one of those three that restricts their software to hardware that only they sell. So in that case I do understand your position.

A browser is a platform. I have no easy way to use passwords saved in Chrome in Safari for example.

It matters to me because I use Firefox and Chrome on my work desktop, Safari and Firefox on my personal desktop, and Safari on my phone. And I want the ability to switch browser easily.

Same goes for Apple passwords, I still use Windows for some games, and I want to access my passwords easily.

Yep, they’re allowed to run on Chrome, that’s Google’s platform.

Good luck using your Chrome/Google passwords outside Chrome/Google apps.

Firefox at least does (or used to) offer a Lockbox app to use the password on your phone.
