ItвЂ™s unclear why Apple pulled the update - the reviews for the Chrome extension arenвЂ™t good, but many of them are users reporting that it doesnвЂ™t work on Mac, which itвЂ™s not designed for.

Anyone still on version 11 of the iCloud for Windows app, though, wonвЂ™t be able to upgrade and take advantage of the extension anyhow. Version 12 of the app with the passwords option, downloaded January 27.ДЄs The 8-Bit notes, the late-to-the-party Chrome Extension is still available on the Chrome Web Store, at least for now. The version of the app we downloaded today, 11.6. We verified this for ourselves, and you can see thereвЂ™s no password sync option in our first screenshot below. However, upon downloading, the app shows the version as 11.6 in the top right. Weirdly, the changelog on the Windows Store still says that the password syncing functionality is present.

Now, version 12 is gone from the Windows Store, with version 11.6 taking its place. Version 12 of AppleвЂ™s iCloud for Windows app released last week with supposed support for the feature, but the Chrome extension to make it work wasnвЂ™t available until two days ago. AppleвЂ™s rocky rollout of iCloud password sync on Windows has hit another bump: you can no longer download the version of the app that allowed syncing passwords from your Apple devices with your Chrome web browser on a Windows PC ( via Windows Central).
