Q: Keychain syncing

I have an iphone 6s, an ipad 4, but no mac computer. Should I be able to sync between the two apple devices or do I have to have a mac as well?

Forgive me if this is the wrong community to post to.

Thanks, Caroline

Using keychain I want to sync the passwords I put in my ipad on to my iphone, but I don't know whether it is possible without using a computer. I only have a Windows computer. Thanks, Caroline

PS I have enabled keychain on both ipad and iphone, but keychain is not syncing

A computer is not required.
Are both devices using the same iCloud ID?
Did y look at the link I provided for how to set it up?
Once setup on one device, you have to approve on that device to use it on another device. Did you do that?

Both devices are on the same icloud, same network. I believe I set it up accurately [some weeks ago], but is there a way of deleting and resetting keychain, i.e. starting again?
I have tried switching both off, rebooting and switching keychain on again but no good.
thanks, Caroline

Thanks so much - I'll start again! Thanks for telling me I don't need a compatible computer.
All the best, Caroline
