Wifi password sharing via iOS 26 AirDrop

After upgrading iPhone 14 Plus and SE (2nd Gen), I noticed that sending a password from SE to 14 Plus does NOT work. It indeed receives to Files App as it recognizes it as a mere .txt file.

But when I try sending from 14 Plus to SE, it works correctly.

I already reported to Apple. Anyone else has this issue?

Wifi Password Sharing Between Phone and Macbook Whenever I am using my Macbook, which is already connected to our home wifi, all iPhones in the house are prompted to share the wifi password with my Macbook. This happens repeatedly, everytime someone opens their phone. How can I fix it?

iCloud Keychain Wi Fi Issue I've recently upgraded from a iPhone 13 Pro Max to a iPhone 17 Pro Max. So a simple transfer I would hope, so everything has moved across, all apps, contacts etc. The only issue in the iCloud keychain - on the iPhone 13 Pro Max its toggled on and also on the iPhone 17 Pro Max - it's toggled on. But the iPhone 17 Pro Max is showing me less Wi Fi locations in the Passwords app, then the iPhone 13 Pro Max. For context, say 100 Wi Fi locations on the iPhone 13 Pro Max (since new so 4 years ago and I travel a lot - hence the high number) But the iPhone 17 Pro Max is only showing 50 locations? Anyone know a fix - that doesn't need me to re login into all my apps again and add my Apple wallet details again? I don't want to go to different locations again and again and re-enter the Wi-Fi passwords. I've contacted Apple Support - and I tried toggling it on and off on each device under iCloud+. and restarted both devices. With no luck.
