Google Password Manager finally syncs to iOS—here’s how
1 min read
Summary
Apple and Google have collaborated to enable their respective password managers to sync passwords on all devices using end-to-end encryption.
This removes the historic problem where passwords created or saved on one platform couldn’t be accessed or synced on another.
The new system works with external apps on iOS as well as Chrome, meaning that passwords created on an Android or Windows device can be used on an iOS app and vice versa, bringing a high level of user convenience and seamlessness.
The system works through a new API that allows an app to request the password manager to fill in a password, with the user’s consent.
The platforms are keen to emphasis the security around the new system, employing ‘strong, modern cryptography’ to ensure that user data and passwords are protected.
