iCloud passwords in a shared group are not available on Windows

It looks like passwords in a shared iCloud password group (created in iOS 17) don't show up in the iCloud Passwords app on a Windows PC. This isn't an issue for my other iOS or Mac devices, just Windows. The weird thing is that I actually thought it was working for a bit, but now I don't see them at all from my Windows PC. Are shared password groups supported yet on Windows?

Repro steps:

Create a shared password group in iOS 17
Move a password into the shared group.
Open your iCloud Password app on a Windows PC
Search for your shared password and notice that doesn't show up.
On you iOS device, move the password back to the non-shared group.
Go back to your Windows PC and notice that you can find the password again.

Please add support for this on iCloud for Windows.

The lack of support for password groups on iCloud for Windows hampers my ability to share critical credentials with my wife who uses a Windows computer.

As of November 26, I still don’t see any update for iCloud Passwords for Windows that resolves this issue. Has anyone found any solution, other than to create two categories of the same password—one for the shared group and one for the non-shared group?

Thanks all.

There’s nothing that makes me think there’s an update that addresses this issue. As I noted in my post, as of the date I posted it, it appeared that Apple still had not resolved the issue, despite the passage of over 1.5 months. It therefore appeared, and continues to appear, that this issue has not been resolved.

Hello,

I have the exact same issue my side, as per the above:

Repro steps:

Create a shared password group in iOS 17
Move a password into the shared group.
Open your iCloud Password app on a Windows PC
Search for your shared password and notice that doesn't show up.
On you iOS device, move the password back to the non-shared group.
Go back to your Windows PC and notice that you can find the password again.

I've also looked for iCloud updates on my Windows laptop, through Microsoft Store - and no luck there either.

What makes you believe there is an update on Nov 26 that addresses this? Do you have a reference? I keep the Win11 client uptodate, and as of today (Dec 9) still have this issue. Just asking in case I'm looking in the wrong places to update.
