Keychain not working on 2019 iPad

My bank password is saved to my MB Air but NOT visible on my iPad.

On hols with my new iPad 2019 and could not log into my bank account. iCloud is turned on in all my apple devices. Surely they all communicate with each other?

I have a list of passwords on both the above but my bank account and a few others cannot be seen on my iPad. Anyone know why? I reiterate that keychain is definitely switched on on both devices including my iPhone.

I am now using Catalina.

iPad, iOS 13

Not all webforms will trigger input from your Keychain. Is your issue single-device specific - or just affecting a specific webpage?

When a webpage password-input field does not automatically trigger a prompt to select credentials from your Keychain, it is usually possible to invoke the Keychain from the on-screen keyboard.

In addition to enabling iCloud on all devices (assuming that all devices are logged-in using the same AppleID), you must also explicitly enable Keychain-sync on each device.

On your iPad:

Settings > [Your Name / AppleID] > iCloud > Keychain - set to ON

I hope you find this to be helpful in resolving the issue.

It is tuned on in all my 3 devices. I can create and save the password on all 3 but I have to do it separately. Even updating iCloud does not fix the problem. The password just will not jump from keychain to the actual bank website. I think i have to give up and just accept it, but thanks anyway.
