Hello tech enthusiasts! Today, we’re diving into an exciting update for those who use Chrome on iOS and depend on the Google Password Manager (GPM).

As you may know, passkeys have been the focus of much debate due to their user-unfriendliness. Previously, if you created a passkey in Chrome on your iPhone, it would be saved to iCloud, causing sync headaches across different devices and platforms.

But guess what? This issue is now resolved! Chrome on all platforms has integrated GPM, allowing seamless synchronization of your passkeys regardless of the device you’re using. That means no more switching between iCloud and Google credentials!

I spent some time testing the new features, and I’m happy to report they work like a charm! You can access GPM by clicking the provided link within Chrome, which lets you log into various apps such as Kayak, eBay, and LinkedIn.

When creating new passkeys in standalone apps, GPM gives you the option to sync them with either GPM or iCloud. So whether you’re on Android, Windows, or macOS, your passkeys will be accessible on your iOS apps without a hitch!

These syncs use end-to-end encryption based on the FIDO specifications, enhancing security while simplifying your password management.

To get started with GPM on iOS, simply navigate to your Settings > General > Autofill & Passwords, and enable the Chrome option. It’s that easy!

This update marks a significant step in making passkey storage user-friendly, although there’s still room for improvement in transferring passkeys between different apps.
