New Passwords App

Is it still not possible to access these passwords from a windows machine unless you have iCloud installed?
That is still the big selling point of 1Password for me. I can't install iCloud on my work pc. If they created a web app within iCloud.com for passwords you'd have me dropping 1Password immediately.

I can see the mrs passwords in the app and I am sure she can see mine. Different Apple ID as well. Nothing to hide but not sure that should happen?
I had deleted my passwords as I'm using 1password, did the update and a number of passwords re-appeared.
Not sure you can trust Apple when it says things are deleted, I had left iCloud sync on the ensure they were all deleted across all my Apple gear.

Just jumped onto ios 18 and I also wanna know if you can import all passwords from 1Password into the new app, and if there is a plugin you can use on a windows laptop.
I use 1P frequently on my work laptop which is on windows.

I find it being its own easily accessible app, one which even imports and such is much, much more useful than it being stuck in a menu somewhere. Moving my mother to it now will be much easier than it would have before. I'm still going to stick with 1Password though but for her it's great.
I also want to switch off 1P and stop paying for the subscription. But need to know what options there are (e.g. can you specify length of recommended password, include/exclude symbols) and definitely if there is a windows chrome plugin.

I’m considering using the Password app on my phone, but my 2018 MacBook Air won’t be able to upgrade to Sequoia to support it. It could be a year before I get a new MacBook. How significant is this disadvantage?
Updated my iPhone and it appears that there is no iCloud for Windows update yet nor it appears an update for the Chrome extension yet as i'm not seeing anything yet.
I mean Secure Notes that aren't specific to a log in. 1P has a lot of categories and that is one of them.
I believe everything still uses Keychain, and the Passwords app is a kind of front-end to the passwords stored there.
So whatever you add to Passwords on iOS will show up in keychain on MacOS.
Disclaimer: I use Bitwarden and not the new passwords app (as I use Firefox as my browser and like the extra options Bitwarden provides).
So just confirming - There is currently no chrome plugin that allows you to use the passwords from the new password app on a windows laptop?
Installed the iCloud password extension and my passkeys are not showing up yet. Not sure if iCloud for Windows and/or the Chrome extension needs an update before it is available.
I’ve used Keeper for years but migrated all my notes to this new password app. My subscription with Keeper is for another ten months but if the password app works out then I will get rid of Keeper..
If you get locked out of your Apple ID you can kiss your passwords bye bye. 1Password is still superior.
