## Review summary

User reviews are mixed: the extension can work and deliver password autofill for Apple Passwords users, but widespread issues undermine reliability. Repeated authentication prompts (2FA/TouchID), performance freezes on certain sites, and inconsistent cross-platform support (Windows Firefox) are the most mentioned negatives. Several reviewers note confusing UI and subdomain handling problems. A few view it as valuable and essential for Apple Passwords users when it does function, but overall reliability and Windows support appear as major barriers.

### Pros

- Generally fills passwords and works when the extension is functioning.
- Integrates with Apple Passwords / iCloud Keychain (requires desktop iCloud).
- Valued by some users as essential for Apple Passwords users.

### Cons

- Buggy and frequently causes freezes or performance issues on some sites.
- Requires frequent re-authentication / 2FA prompts (including on startup / TouchID).
- Not available or not functioning on Firefox for Windows / Windows support lacking.
- UI/UX drawbacks: overlays on non-password fields, confusing menu, and subdomain fill issues.
