Google Password Manager and iCloud Keychain are two ecosystem-linked password managers that can sync passwords across devices. Each can generate strong, unique passwords for new accounts and autofill forms in websites and apps. They support two-factor authentication for additional security.

But Google Password Manager (introduced in 2016) is built in Google Chrome and Android devices and can be used on multiple third platforms, including iOS, too - via Chrome browser extension.

iCloud Keychain is limited only to Apple devices and Safari browser and can't be accessed from non-Apple platforms. It's less suitable but (theoretically) more secure and fast - as it optimized for Apple devices and Safari.
