Manually added passwords not syncing, all other passwords do

Not sure if it's in the right category, sorry


Hello,


I've added several passwords to my Keychain manually, such as my WiFi-password (not the Airport-network kind), backup-keys for certain apps and more using my MacBook Pro. These passwords do not show up in my passwords list on iPhone or iPad. All other passwords do sync correctly. Here are the differences I found:


  • The passwords that aren't syncing are listed as 'App Passwords' and in the Keychain-category as 'login'.
  • The other passwords (that do sync) are listed as 'Password webforms' and are in the category 'iCloud'.


My question is, how do I get my manually created passwords to sync with iCloud?


Cheers,


Ruben

Thanks for providing the links, but this does not help unfortunately. When I go to Safari to the passwords section, I can only add passwords for websites (I am forced to add a URL to the password form). I guess what I want / expected is for Keychain to function as a more general password manager instead of for passwords for websites only. I guess this is not what Keychain is designed for? Or am I still overlooking something?
