Why can’t I delete items from Passwords (Keychain)?
When I go to “Settings - Passwords” and delete password items from the list, they come back after reopening settings. I found out that the recommended user names come from keychain passwords. In order to have it suggest a user name/ email address that I actually use, I needed to delete all my usernames and passwords and add one default dummy entry with the most common user name I use. Note: I don’t use keychain I only use 1Password. These previously deleted user name / passwords may have come back after the installation of iOS 16.4. Since these are very old, they have user names I don’t use anymore and they have websites that don’t exist anymore. Also, if I try and change one of these un-deletable Entries, a duplicate entry is created. Leaving the original un-deletable Entry intact. Note: I turned off iCloud Syncing for “Passwords & Keychain”
There are only three entries that can’t be deleted. I believe they came back after the update. Since two of these use the same old user name I needed to create three dummy entries to get the default user name to be a current one. The most common username in Passwords(keychain) is the default. Even if you don’t use keychain, you still get default user names from this, the only way to not get a default user name at all this is to have no entries in Passwords at all. Now, for me, for some reason this is not possible.
Can someone suggest a way to delete the entire file, so these password entries don’t keep coming back?
