My passwords disappeared

Hi, I rely on Apple secure key for all my passwords including my Apple password and they’ve disappeared overnight. I received a notification that my update to iOS 15.5 has been unsuccessful and that I need to update my payment card for my iCloud subscription (it expired). Are the passwords gone forever? Is this a glitch? Can I bring them back?

iPhone 12, iOS 15

You need to contact Apple Support Directly. This is a User-to-User forum. We are all volunteers. So, as you may suspect, no one here has access to that information — and that is a good thing, BTW. That’s why for Account Assistance, you need to contact Apple Support. Your passwords are stored in keychain, and without access toicgloud, you cannot see the passwords. They’ll see what’s going on and will run you through the fix.

Apple Contact Info:

  • Contact Us - Choose Locations
  • Proceed from there, as necessary
  • Why the Wait: Phone calls are taking a bit to go through at the moment, due to lots of calls. With the Coronavirus Pandemic, many are at home at the moment, with much time on their hands to contact Apple. So, just stay on the line, and you will get through :)
