Password auto fill keychain isn't working in iOS 8

iOS 8 changed the way autofill works. Some sites will fill automatically. but others require that you tap in the text entry to bring up the keyboard. At the top of the keyboard there will be an option to fill the name and password. Tap on that. Then tap on Sign in or whatever button the site has for login.

It's just a setting in Safari that got turned off with the update - go to Settings > Safari > Passwords & Autofill > Names & Passwords 'On'

That should sort it.

Was having the same issue and finally licked it. The problem seems to arise when there are multiple versions of a username or domain saved in Keychain -- "Bob" and "bob," or example.com and www.example.com. The solution for me was to go into Settings on each iOS device and delete the saved user/password pair.

Settings > Safari > Passwords & Autofill > Saved Passwords

Click Edit, then check the user/password pair(s), then click Delete.

Recheck each device and make sure the user/PW pair has not repopulated in the Saved Passwords list. Then go back to the problem website and log in with your username & PW, saying yes to the Keychain prompt. Then log out and log in again. Put your cursor in the "Username" field. The keyboard should come up, with "Autofill password" just over the QW keys. If that doesn't work on an iPad, try the same thing on your iPhone, then go back to the iPad.

After trying all of the above with no success I figured out the problem, as I was having this issue too. I was getting to my desired website through my google app. You must get there through the safari app!

After hours of trying all suggestions I noticed a little horizontal bar at the top of the keyboard in the centre just to the left of where I was expecting tthe auto fill button to appear. I touched it to move it up and there appeared my auto fill button.

Also, make sure 'Keychain' under Settings-->iCloud is set to 'On'.

That cleared mine up.

I was having the same problem. The solution is real simple. Tap the space for your user name and when the keyboard appears, just above the keyboard is "AutoFill Password" -- tap that and it fills in from keychain. You may have to turn on Passcode in the settings first.You can turn it off if you want but allow it to continue to access keychain when it asks.

I've been struggling with this too and finally got it to work.

Settings/icloud/keychain

-turn keychain off but save the passwords on your device.

-hold down the power button until it powers down.

- Restart the device.

Settings/iCloud/keychain

-turn keychain on

-if you have multiple devices attached to the same iCloud account one of your other devices will have to allow this device, using the iTunes password.

I hope I've explained this properly because I tried so many times, I might be confused lol.

i Was having the same exact issue. This is what corrected it for me;

1. Got settings > iCloud>iCloud Keychain: Make sure it in on. Go to advanced: Make sure APPROVE WITH SECURITY CODE IS ON and the correct phone number and country is imputed.

2. GO to Safari> AutoFIll: Ensure all switches are in the ON position. This is a good time to impute credit card if applicable.

HOpe this helps. Let me know.

Hi,

Please check if the private option is activated in Safari as it was my problem.

After deactivating it auto save just worked out.

I Had the same problem and it was easily resolved. If you have set your browser to private it won't auto fill, switch private browsing off and it works. Hope this helps.

"Safari doesn't save account names and passwords when Private Browsing is on. To turn off Private Browsing:"

Annmariegates your awesome i was trying to figure this out for two days, i even called Apple phone support and they didn't help me, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

for those that try everything and nothing work, like me, you probably using safari in private mode and don't even know it, like me, turn off private mode and problem solve.
