shared groups in Passwords app

Another user is sharing passwords with me from the Password app using the Shared Group feature. I am able to see the shared passwords on my iPhone but not on my MacBook Air M3 running MacOS 15.3.1. Suggestions?

Password Sharing Breaks Password Syncing I recently migrated to Apple's Passwords app. Passwords synced fine across my three Apple devices (not counting my watch). I then set up a password sharing group on my Intel MBP running Sequoia. I selected all of my 300+ passwords to be shared—or so I thought; more on that below. My passwords continued to sync fine between the MBP and my iPhone running iOS 18. My third Apple device is a 2017 iMac running Ventura which cannot be upgraded further. After creating the shared passwords group, the iMac only shows four or five passwords. On a hunch, I discovered that those four or five passwords are ones that I inadvertently omitted from the password sharing group. It looks like the shared passwords won't display on this older Mac. Turning iCloud password syncing on and off and restarting haven't helped. Ideas, anyone?

Sequoia Passwords App Groups Groups in the new Passwords app refer to sets of people with whom you can share selected passwords. I am trying to find out if it is possible to create a "group" for my own use which contains all passwords of a certain type - say passwords for all the weather sites I use, or a set of all my credit card passwords. Anyone know of any way to accomplish that? thanks for any input here.

Hello Nealer2,

On your Mac, go to System Settings > [your name] > iCloud, turn off Passwords, reboot your Mac and turn Passwords back on. Wait a minute for the passwords to download.

Good suggestion, but no joy. Thanks.
