Apple made a Chrome extension so you can access iCloud passwords

As part of macOS Sonoma, Apple has introduced a Chrome extension that lets you access your passwords in iCloud with Google's browser. The Extension can also "AutoFill passwords and one-time codes, save new passwords, and lets you right-click QR codes to set up code generators". It'll work with other Chromium based browsers like Edge, but tough shit if you use Firefox I guess? This extension also does not work with passkeys. That feature is built-in to macOS, but apps need to be updated to support accessing passkeys stored on the device or within iCloud. It's nice password managers are built-in to operating systems, but damn the lack of cross-platform (cross-app even!) support is disturbing. Just entrenches more ecosystem lock-in. P.S: Proton now has a password manager that looks pretty good.
