How to restore iCloud Keychain on Mac

I have lost all my keychain data on my Mac. I do still see the passwords stored on my iOS device, but I don't know how to restore all my keychain info on my Mac from the iOS device.


Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks in advance.

According to: Get help with iCloud Keychain - Apple Support

"If you want to sync iCloud Keychain with other devices

Make sure that your new device has the latest version of iOS and the latest version of macOS. Then, make sure that your device is on a Wi-Fi or cellular network. If the connection appears strong, try these steps:

  1. Turn off iCloud Keychain on all devices.
  2. Turn on iCloud Keychain on the device that has the most up-to-date keychain items.
  3. Turn on iCloud Keychain on your other devices. They will be updated with your new iCloud Keychain."
