![]() ![]() Here again, OS X’s Keychain wanted to do its job, prompting me to allow access for each of the 200+ items. If I took the time to look up an array or list "join" routine, the intent of the could could have been better communicated. For instance, I could have used a consistent naming style between copied and non-copied code. There’s a lot that can be improved with this code.

Automating typing the keychain password and clicking “OK” Keychain Access prompted me for the “Local Items” keychain password for every password I was pasting. I selected the new keychain I just created and pasted the passwords. I clicked on iCloud in the sidebar, selected all of the passwords, and copied them. In my case, I saved the new keychain to the desktop. To do this, I clicked File > New Keychain (⌥⌘N) in Keychain Access. To access the credentials, I first created a traditional keychain with the iCloud Keychain’s contents. One’s iCloud Keychain is stored on disk in a different format than a traditional keychain. Copy the iCloud Keychain into a local Keychain That said, I found this method to be a fun illustration of what’s possible using AppleScript (or JavaScript!) and UI scripting on OS X. A better approach might leverage the security command line tool that ships with OS X. The way I went about this isn’t great it opens up more opportunities for apps to control one’s Mac through Accessibility APIs, it writes plaintext passwords to disk, and it could use some cleaning up. This portable format would be pretty easy to import into 1Password or Safari in the future. This is the process I used to create a CSV file of his credentials in the format “,user,pass”. I don’t want to have to keep an OS X user account around just to access his accounts, so I wanted to export his credentials to a portable file. My dad was a Safari user and used iCloud Keychain to sync his credentials across his devices. Original, Obsolete Content (2014)Īfter my dad died, I wanted to be able to have access any of his online accounts going forward. You shouldn't need to hack up your own exporter anymore. You can access it in the Password Manager’s “gear” icon (System Preferences > Passwords on Monterey, and Safari > Passwords everywhere else), or via the File > Export > Passwords.

The reviews for the Chrome extension are not good and many of the users have reported that it doesn't work on Mac, which it is not designed for, by the way.įollow HT Tech for the latest tech news and reviews, also keep up with us It is not clear why Apple has pulled the update. However, if you are already on version 12, Windows will not downgrade you to the older version. Anyone who is still on version 11 of the iCloud for Windows app will not be able to upgrade or take advantage of the extension though. This was verified by The Verge.Īccording to The 8-Bit notes, the Chrome Extension that allowed the iCloud version for Windows to sync passwords is still available on the Chrome Web Store, at least for now. The changelog on the Windows Store still states that the password syncing functionality is available though, however, if you download it, you'll still see it is the 11.6 version without the password sync option. ![]()
