Keychain sync MacBook to iPhone

With some hesitation I let my MacBook keychain assign strong passwords to many of my passwords.


But these passwords are not on on my iPhone and I am unable to log in to anything that I let my MacBook keychain assign a password to when I am on my iPhone.


How do I get these to sync?


I knew new this would happen, and now my MacBook is down, all I have is my iPhone and I can’t get to an important site. Not going to use the strong passwords anymore!!



iPhone SE, iOS 12
