Tired of resetting passwords. How can I see existing passwords? I have an old iMac and would like to see existing passwords and avoid constantly having to change passwords. How can I do this?

iCloud Passwords and Keychain Sync this Mac toggle won't turn on since updating to Tahoe Just updated to Tahoe 26.0.1 from Sequoia today and now the iCloud Passwords and Keychain "Sync this Mac" toggle won't turn on in iCloud Settings. Also get the notice "Some iCloud Data Isn't Syncing" but clicking "Resume Data Sync" toggle doesn't do anything. Currently the Save to iCloud setting for Passwords is off, but Photos, Drive, Notes, Messages are all on and working. I'm on a Studio Mac M1 Max I've tried logging out of my apple account on all of my devices turned them all off. I restarted Mac first as suggested in some forums as it should have the most up to date passwords. Still didn't work after logging back in. All my other devices (ipad, iphone, Macbook Pro) are working fine and I'm able to toggle the Sync this phone/mac button on all of them. I logged into another user on my Mac Studio and it worked without a problem, using my same apple account, so this seems user specific on my Mac Studio since the update. Any help would be appreciated. I use the Studio Mac the most for changing passwords and it should have the most up to date passwords so I'm reticent to completely reset my passwords on it, but if that's the next step, I'd appreciate the step by step so I don't lose any information.

Fix by:

Turning iCloud Keychain OFF → restart → ON
Removing CloudKit Keychain metadata
Signing out → into iCloud to refresh security tokens
Resetting KeychainCloudInformation
Resetting NVRAM
Temporarily disabling Advanced Data Protection
Rebuilding the local keychain (guaranteed fix)

Your passwords are stored safely in iCloud — this is only a sync issues on the Mac.
