- pdpi 2y agoLast I tried it, iCloud for Windows didn't integrate with Firefox, though.

- throw0101d 2y ago> Or Linux. I guess Apple does not think that 2024 will be the Year of the Linux Desktop.
- niek_pas 2y agoI don't think Apple minds.
- Someone 2y agoI would think it would be Firefox which would have to support iCloud for Windows. If password managers could interfere with password fields in Firefox without its help, malware could do that, too. Or is there a generic password manager API on Windows that Apple doesn’t implement?
- ivan_gammel 2y ago1Password, for example, has a plugin for Firefox. Something that you would expect in MVP for any password manager.
- zchrykng 2y agoWith Firefox at 2.93% [1] percent market share, doesn't seem like many people would put it in the MVP. 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_web_browsers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_web_browsers
- ivan_gammel 2y agoWhat is the market share among people who buy and use password managers?
- amlib 2y agoI also don't get why pay for a password manager when there is a free one from a trustworthy entity, Mozilla Firefox, that works on android, windows, linux, iOS and MacOS.
- ivan_gammel 2y agoThe answer is: features. People who pay for a consumer product usually get some added value with it that you cannot find in freeware.

- pavel_lishin 2y agoThen we're not their target demographic.
- nani8ot 2y agoBeing locked into the eco system is my main reason for avoiding Apple products. Switching from an iPhone to an Android phone was painless for me because I didn't use any of the Apple services (iMessage, iCloud, Passwords). If I had to simultaneously switch from Passwords to Bitwarden would've been time consuming and annoying.
