I really want to use Keychain for all of my password management. But nothing works.

Like I'm in serious need of a highly secure cross browser/cross platform password solution.

On my phone, everything is fine. But I use Chrome on MacOS and my Windows desktop. Chrome used to use Keychain on MacOS, but some years back Google changed the product to tie into their own user accounts. I refuse to sign into a browser itself just to use the web.

The iCloud password extension for Windows (chrome/edge) absolutely DOES NOT WORK. I have tried getting it to work for the better part of a year. Finally gave up and removed the useless thing.

I probably dumbly still trust Apple's security policies and would prefer to use Keychain as my fits-all-sizes security tool, but the combo of product incompatibilities and non-working Apple authored software makes it impossible.
