All of my devices forget all wifi passwords about once a week

Starting about a month ago, all of my Apple devices (2019 MacBook Pro with macOS 10.15.7, iPhone 12 Pro Max with iOS 16.4.1, and iPad Pro 2 with iPadOS 15.7.1) forget all wifi passwords. Each time, this happens to all of the devices simultaneously and I have to re-save the passwords on all of the devices again. The devices think they remember the networks, but either forget the password or the passwords are corrupted.

I cannot figure out what is going on or what is causing it. It seems like it might be linked somehow to iCloud or my Apple ID since it happens on all of my devices repeatedly and at the same time. I've found a lot of advice only, but none of it has helped so far.

Has anyone experienced this and know how to fix it? Thank you for the help.

Hey all! Just a quick update. I have been working with an Apple advisor for about a month now (providing logs, system diagnostics, screenshots, date logs, and more from all of my devices). Apple engineers are aware of this problem and are working on figuring it out and fixing it. According to the advisor I am working with, others are also working with Apple's advisors collecting valuable data. Hang in there! Apple is aware of it and it will be resolved. In the meantime, just turn off "Passwords and Keychain" / "Keychain" on all of your devices as a bandaid until issue is resolved.
