Hello Mikefrommassillon,


Thanks for posting in the Apple Support Communities.


It sounds like you're unable to save passwords on your MacBook Air, right?


If we have that correct, let's check which method you're looking to use for your passwords to be stored. You can use iCloud Keychain or Keychain Access on your MacBook Air for this. Check out the information below to view more details on each method, and you can find additional information here: Ways to remember passwords on Mac - Apple Support


Use iCloud Keychain

If you use iCloud, you can use iCloud Keychain to store passwords for web accounts, credit cards, and Wi-Fi networks across your Mac, iPhone, and iPad. See Use iCloud Keychain to keep information secure.

Use Keychain Access

You can use keychains in macOS to remember passwords for apps, servers, and websites. If an item’s password is stored in a keychain, Keychain Access can enter the password when you open the item. See Manage passwords using keychains.


We hope that's able to help with clearing up what's occurring. If you need additional assistance, let us know which method you typically use and include any additional information to help us understand what led to this occurring. We'll be able to provide the best next steps to take with those details.


Have a great day!
