As noted by The 8 bits, the version of iCloud currently on the Microsoft App Store is 11.6.32.0, which is a downgrade from version 12 that was available yesterday. The iCloud app description still mentions support for the iCloud Passwords extension, however.
It is not known why Apple withdrew the latest version, but it may be due to problems that many users have had with the Chrome extension, including problems with two-factor authentication when trying to access websites and the browser extension does not work.
Apple released the iCloud password extension for Google’s Chrome browser on Windows 10 to allow users to access passwords in Chrome that were generated on Apple’s Safari browser. It also allows iCloud synchronization of passwords generated in Chrome, making them also available on Apple devices.
