What is Apple doing wrong here? Surely it’s a case of Apple being first to implement a standard where other vendors – Firefox included – are expected to follow?

I don’t know what it means for the password managers, but I don't see that it stops you using those either.
- hayst4ck 4y agoI want to use my iCloud keychain as a password manager since the level of trust I've already given apple allows them to acquire most of my passwords (and 2 factor codes) anyway. Safari integrates with it, but there is no Firefox or chrome plugin to do domain based validation or to keep my clipboard sane. Apple has either failed to allow uBlock to function in safari (after which I would consider migrating to safari), failed to write the Firefox integration plugin, or failed to create an API that would allow a third party to build a plugin. While apple can certainly choose to do/not do those things, it is not a happy customer experience.

That's Chrome's and Firefox' fault for not using the password autofill APIs: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/password_autofill/ https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/password_... Chrome issue: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1170065 https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=117006... Firefox issue: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1650212 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1650212 Btw, Chrome used to be able to read from Apple Keychain, but they removed that functionality years ago.
