Q: Can't turn off / disable the keychain (can't sign out iCloud)

Hello,

 

I haven't found a solution for my problem, although I've searched the web and the fora sufficiently.

 

I can't sign out from iCloud, it keeps re-enabling the Keychain. I can't disable it.

 

System Preferences > iCloud > Sign off
"You have to disable all options"
"The delete or save data question" > tried both.


Safari > Preferences > Forms: all turned off (hint from another website).
Safari > Preferences > Passwords: all turned off and deleted.

Keychain acces app > all locks are enabled (open)
Keychain acces app > "EHBO / first aid" no conflicts

Keychain acces app> all keychains are deleted (hint from another website).

There are no conflicts (
Disk Utility)

 

The question is, how do I turn off the keychain to sign out from iCloud?

 

Thanks in advance for any comments/shared thoughts.

 

Kind regards.

    Just checking, I get the same "can't sign out of iCloud because Keychain is not turned off, but Keychain keeps re-ticking itself" issue and this "waiting for approval from other device" pops up every time after startup.

    Contacted Apple Support, and I tried logging in same Apple ID on another Admin level user on my MBP, and Keychain is not on... They said there's nothing they can do about this...

    Have this same exact issue, even tried resetting the keychain and it says "can't contact iCloud" and won't allow it. Completely stuck right now.

    same thing here, can't contact iCloud, the 'send code to mobile' or similar option is gone...
