iCloud Password Manager for NVDA

An NVDA add-on that makes iCloud Password Manager popups accessible for screen reader users.

Features

Verification Code Detection & Auto-Entry

When an iCloud verification code dialog appears (e.g., during two-factor authentication), the add-on:

• Automatically detects the popup
• Announces the 6-digit code with spaces between digits for clarity (e.g., "iCloud code: 1 2 3 4 5 6")
• Auto-types the code into the iCloud Passwords Edge extension PIN fields when they receive focus

Password Save Dialog

When iCloud prompts to save a password:

• Dialog automatically steals focus from the browser
• Full dialog text is announced along with available buttons
• Tab/Shift+Tab cycles between "Save Password" and "Not Now" buttons
• Each Tab press reads the dialog message and focused button name
• Enter/Space activates the focused button

Credential Autofill List

When the iCloud Passwords Edge extension shows a dropdown of saved credentials on a login page:

• NVDA reads the credential items instead of "blank"
• Arrow keys navigate between credentials with proper announcements

Requirements

• NVDA 2024.1 or later
• iCloud for Windows with the iCloud Passwords browser extension

Installation

1. Download the latest .nvda-addon file from the releases
2. Open the file with NVDA running to install
3. Restart NVDA when prompted

Usage

The add-on works automatically in the background. When you:

1. Receive a verification code: The code will be announced automatically and auto-typed into PIN fields.

2. See a password save prompt: The dialog will steal focus. Use Tab/Shift+Tab to navigate between buttons, Enter/Space to activate.

3. See a credential autofill dropdown: Use arrow keys to navigate. NVDA will read the credential names instead of "blank".
