Better Passwords - for Apple Passwords
Apple Passwords in Chrome & Firefox, with Touch ID
Apple has an official extension called iCloud Passwords. Well... it sucks. It keeps asking for a six-digit code and makes using browsers other than Safari difficult. So I built this for Chrome and Firefox: - Fill and save logins - Generate strong passwords - Hide My Email (needs iCloud+) - Stay paired for the browser session - Touch ID and contact email suggestions with the free Mac companion Free and open source. Needs macOS 14+ Not affiliated with Apple.
Hi Product Hunt! I built Better Passwords because I wanted to keep using Apple Passwords while choosing my own browser. Repeated six-digit pairing prompts and the lack of password suggestions on sign-up forms kept getting in the way.
Better Passwords brings inline login suggestions, strong password generation and saving to Chrome, Firefox and other supported browsers on Mac. It keeps the connection to Apple's password helper open for the browser session. The optional free Mac companion adds Touch ID unlocking and email suggestions from your contact card. If you have iCloud+, you can also create Hide My Email aliases in sign-up forms.
The extension and companion are free and open source. Password lookup and saving happen locally through Apple's helper; the project runs no backend and includes no analytics. Hide My Email uses your existing iCloud sign-in and connects to Apple. You'll need macOS 14 or later and a one-time setup through the companion app or setup script.
The gallery uses demo accounts and sample data. Better Passwords is an independent project, not affiliated with or endorsed by Apple.
I'd love to hear how it works with your browser and which sign-in or sign-up flows could be better. Source code, setup instructions and downloads: https://betterpasswords.app
