Here are some potential solutions you can try:


  1. Passwords: Go to Settings > Passwords > Password Options and ensure "AutoFill Passwords" is toggled on.
  2. If the Safari address bar is black, you're in Private Browsing, which disables password saving. Open a new tab or tap the tabs icon and close the private tab.
  3. Ensure you're running the latest iOS version. Go to Settings > General > Software Update and install any available updates.
  4. On iPhone or iPad: Tap Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Passwords and Keychain: If iCloud Keychain won't turn on or sync
  5. If none of the above solutions work, consider reporting the issue to Apple. This helps them identify and fix recurring bugs. You can report it through the Feedback Assistant app on your iPhone or the Apple website (Product Feedback - Apple).
