As an Apple user you can use iCloud Keychain. Using this option, your passwords and account information will be saved and synced with iCloud. Via the online service, your passwords are updated immediately when you change or add them. This can also be done on a Windows computer.
This means that you can use your iCloud passwords on an iPhone, iPad, Mac, or even on a Windows PC. To do this, you must use the built-in browser extension for Google Chrome extension or Microsoft Edge.
Use iCloud through Windows
If you have an iCloud account, you can also use it on a Windows PC. It then ensures that you have access to all parts of your account. You also have the option to synchronize the iCloud Photo Library and iCloud Drive with your PC. You can integrate iCloud with the ‘iCloud for Windows’ program.

iCloud passwords can be used via a Chrome extension for Windows users or directly in Microsoft Edge via a handy browser extension. You can then easily use the same strong Safari passwords for websites on your Windows PC as you create on your iPhone, iPad or Mac.
