Keychain not saving Passwords

I'm running Monterey on my desktop and on my mini and on my laptop and I can't get Keychain to save my passwords. At first, I was asked if I wanted to save it whenever I set up an account on websites or applications, etc., then it stopped asking. I may have said no one time. That may have caused the problem to start, but I didn't deny saving it all of the devices. I say maybe because I didn't think to look at Keychain Access right after I denied saving it the one time. I assumed, if I denied it the one time, it would only apply to that one instance. Keychain does save tokens, but not the password that I enter at the sites.

MacBook Air (2020 or later)

Saving website passwords is a preference inside Safari (and other Browsers).


Skim this article so that you understand what it SHOULD be doing, then check the settings in your browser:


Autofill your user name and password in Safari on Mac - Apple Support


Note: As a personal policy, I prefer not to autofill credit card information. Instead, I pull out the card and type it in when needed. If my credit card number is not stored on the computer, it is a little harder for it to be stolen from the computer.
