My MacBook Pro was auto-updated to Big Sur 11.5.2 overnight last night. All password including Apple Login (I had to create a new password!!), Mail, Adobe, FTP and many others were just wiped out. I am on vacation this week and I left passwords at home. HELP!?!? David

Well , I will say I am not a fan of auto-matic updates in your situation

Is this a matter of unlocking the padlock in your Keychain—

I would restore form a backup prior to the issue— to get back to terra firma.

It is crazy for no access to the Keychain Access.app from a simple point update—obviously something is not right
