keychain issue

both my iPhone and my MacBook have keychain turned on, but they are not "talking" to each other - if I change a password on one, it doesn't change for the same site on the other. I've gone through the steps on the Apple site, with no luck. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hello Wyandottest,


Thank you for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.


Let's turn off iCloud Keychain on both your devices. Restart them, and turn it back on. This should help it sync:


"Turn on iCloud Keychain on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

  1. Tap Settings, tap [your name], then choose iCloud.
  2. Tap Passwords and Keychain.*
  3. Turn on iCloud Keychain. You might be asked for your passcode or Apple ID password. 

On iPhone, turn on iCloud Keychain in Settings

Find your saved passwords and passkeys on your iPhone or iPad"


More details can be found here: Set up iCloud Keychain


If the issue persist, can you provide a few more details? Which iOS and macOS versions are you currently using? When did you firs notice this? Also, is everything else syncing to iCloud without any issues?


Cheers!
