this is probably a long shot, but any idea how to get iCloud Passwords to work on Linux?

I found icloud-for-linux, but it doesn't include Passwords. Any ideas if there are other ways?

Officially:
No.
Unofficially:
Maybe, but the downsides are jank, security, and that you're relying on Apple not killing access for "unauthorized" software.
Alternative:
Use a cross-platform solution, like Bitwarden
Thanks for the advice everyone. I have moved to Bitwarden.
I wouldn’t trust any third party claims for something as sensitive as this. You’re giving them a lot of access and trust and that’s not great for something that will directly talk with the iCloud where your passwords are stored.
Your best bet is to export those passwords to another password wallet that you trust that works in Linux.
You can access the iCloud through iCloud.com and I believe you can access passwords there, but of course it doesn’t offer the same convenience that it does on Apple devices.
There’s an iCloud passwords extension for Chrome, but I believe it doesn’t work on Linux.
I don’t think it’s possible.
- It doesn’t. It only works in tandem with the iCloud app from the Microsoft Store.
There is a Hide my Email extension for Firefox, which allows you to create new passwords and review existing ones. Works well for that usage.
But I don’t know how to get to the Passwords password manager application from Linux.
