Troubleshooting Keychain:

If it is assigned to the same account, then it should be no different. So, re-enable Keychain in Settings.

  1. Go to: Settings
  2. Tap: Your Name (top-item)
  3. Tap: Keychain
  4. Tap: iCloud Keychain (so that it is greyed-out)
  5. Tap: iCloud Keychain (so that it is green)

Modify your Credentials:

Are you saying you no ampler have this device, and that someone else now has it? If so, disable it through use of Find My, and then modify your credentials on all sites shown in Keychain.

No. I have the phone and the iPad.

All of a sudden I could not retrieve the passwords stored in my settings, they are all there but locked.


my iPad is fine, displaying all of the passwords in letters not locked dots.


I don’t know my keychain password and don’t want to lose all that info in phone.
