When you turn off iCloud Keychain for a device, you're asked to keep or delete the passwords and credit card information that you saved. What happens when I turn off iCloud Keychain on a device? If iPhones and Mac are connected with same Apple ID and password on the same network make sure keychain box is checked in iPhone See the section - ( you might be using private browsing in which cookies are disabled and passwords are never saved ). In Mac safari preferences make sure users name and passwords box is checked And Keychain Access shows my passwords keychain as fully populated. The iCloud Keychain is still working properly on that one, running the same macOS install of 10.15.5. It is logged in to the same iCloud account, but it is not demonstrating this problem in Safari. Oddly, I still have the 2013 iMac which is the machine I recently migrated from. I don’t want to lose nine years of saved passwords and certificates. I don’t want to reset the whole keychain in the Keychain Access app, because I am using this keychain on three other devices, and there is no problem on them. But I guess it won’t let me even get that far in troubleshooting. I was hoping I could turn it off and then back on to restart the keychain sharing on this machine.

I go through the authorization process by entering my account password for my appleID, but then the system preferences window just reverts to showing it as check-marked. In an attempt to troubleshoot, I have tried turning off iCloud Keychain in System Preferences, by un-checking the Keychain selector under iCloud setting. But the Keychain Access app is showing the iCloud Passwords keychain as being blank. System preferences shows that Keychain access is allowed under iCloud settings.

There should be hundreds of saved passwords in there. So then I went into Safari preferences to check my saved passwords and the list is entirely blank. The problem: I went to enter one of my work websites in Safari and my password autofill isn’t popping up. I am running Catalina 10.15.5 on a newer 2019 iMac. My iCloud keychain passwords are not working suddenly, in Safari on macOS.
