How to make ios stop asking to save a password to Keychain every time I use banking app?

Every time I use my banking app on iPad after authorization it asks me to save the password to Keychain. But I don't need to save my login and password for this certain banking app. Otherwise my kids will be able to get access to my bank account. How to make ios stop asking to save this password to Keychain every time I use my banking app? It is very annoying to press the "Not Now" button every time. How can I set it to "Never Save" or "Never Ask Again"?

iPad (6th gen) WiFi

Family friendly and multi-user are completely different. Of course iPad is a family friendly device. It's a wonderful to use device. It's a device just about every individual can use and enjoy. It is NOT however, a device which was meant for multiple people to use IF there is information on the device you want to block someone from being able to access.


For your need, you have asked how to stop keychain from asking to save your banking app password. For your need, the answer is you cannot do that if you want to use keychain to store and remember your passwords on iPad. If you want to let your family members use your iPad (something you certainly can do and something many families do), you will have to either stop using keychain or say no every time it asks if you want to store the password.

It does seem that you and Apple have a different and strange understanding of a "family-friendliness" context. You claim that it is family friendly without giving any arguments and without explaining why? Could you explain what does "family-friendliness" term mean to you and to Apple? And I want to ask one more time: what iPad was designed for?


As I mentioned before, a family is a group of people related either by consanguinity or affinity. Group of people means multiple, several persons. So "family-friendly" means to be convenient for multiple persons. As far as I know, an iPad is the only consumer device on the market that is not compatible to be used by multiple family members. Sony Playstation, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Android Tablets, PC allow to use it by multiple users, create multiple profiles for each family member. But iPad doesn't. From my experience of using the iPad, it is the same device as iPhone, just with a bigger screen and recently capable to work with a stylus, pointing devices, and keyboards. It's ok to use it as a personal device, but much inconvenience appears when you start to share it with your family members. That is why it is "family-UNfriendly"!


By the way I have solved my problem with an app for storing passwords called LastPass. It is much better then Apples Keychain and it allows me to overcome some difficulties that appear when using iPad within a family when managing passwords on iPad.


Unfortunately, it turned out that this support was useless for me. It seems that this support wasn't created in order to help people to solve numerous problems that people encounter while using Apple products. But in order just to explain to them that those products were designed to have these issues, it's normal and that people are using their devices the wrong way.

I'll say this as simply as possible. iOS based devices are single user devices. Can a family use a device? Of course they can. But your question has nothing to do with that. Your question has to do with having access to certain places inside the device walled off from other users. iOS was never designed for that, so while yes, an iPad is most certainly a family friendly device. It is not one in which you have the ability to block certain information you want hidden from other users.


What many families do is have an iPad set up for other's to use, where things like banking and credit card, text and email cannot be seen by those using the device. It would have it's own Apple ID and the head of the house would use Family Sharing to share apps on the family device. The head of household would have their iPad and no one else can access it. They wouldn't need to share their device because there is the family device.


I can't say it any simpler than that. You say this wasn't useful to you. I'm sorry if truth and facts bother you. What you're asking for doesn't exist. It is what it is and you again will either need to stop using keychain to store passwords or say no each time you are asked if you want to store your banking passwords, if you intend to let other members of your family use your iPad.
