Password auto fill keychain isn't working in iOS 8

Hi,

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

After deactivating it auto save just worked out.

Agreed!!!!!! SOOOOO FRUSTRATING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have checked, doublechecked, and triple checked very single setting mentioned in this thread, and it STILL ISN'T WORKING!!!! When I look at saber bed passwords in the safari setting, it's empty!

I have checked, double checked, and triple checked every setting in this thread. It still doesn't work, and my safari saved passwords is empty!!!!!

I have the same problem on the new ipad air 2, and yes, me too have check multiple times (days!) to confirm all the settings are corrected (private browsing off, keychain on, autofill on etc) and the only two password saved under Safari auto-fill is the apple id ones. I've just updated to iOS 8.0.3 with the hope that it will resolve but not.

I've installed chrome browser and seems like it too do not allow me to save password. I've also tried to install varies password management tool (passwordbox and 1password to be specific) and both cannot copy and paste password over. So, out of lack for using Safari o(oir Chrome in this matter) to browse password protected pages. My current workaround is to use loginbox which seems to be working fine within it's own browser.

I've been reading a lot of thread on this, and tried all possible option (except hard reset of the device as someone set resetting it also won't resolve the issue), so I am wondering if this is an iOS bug? or something else? Anyone has a sure fix that works for this issue?

This is the first time I have an "i" device, and this experience cause me to think twice before getting more "i" device as I never experience this type of troubleshooting effort with my other devices running Android.

Thankyou. This has been driving me nuts for months but I never googled it. I had my phone replaced and had autofill until I updated and restored it from back up and lost it again. This was a few weeks ago and I just googled it. THANK YOU!

TThis is exactly my problem too.

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.

in iOS 8, hit the two little blue boxes on the bottom tab right

at the bottom you will see private on left. highlight it then unhighlight it and hit done.

when you try to autofill now, the word autofill comes up above the keyboard. hit that and voila.

this is a big step backwards into geek land like so many new apple initiatives.

Apple has grown on the last few years by being really simple and easy.

they are now allowing the geeks to get the upper hand

watch what happens to their value if they don’t twig this.

When I tap the box there is no "autofill" pop up. Nothing.

There is no "autofill" option on my keyboard (iPhone). I tap the empty log in boxes and nothing happens. Have never been able to get Keychain to work on an IOS device. It is turned on, but does nothing.

Yeah the whole keychain system is terrible. Works on my macbook but never on my phone and I've done EVERYTHING on the apple guide to get it working. Private off/ autofill on ect. Total garbage, and the kicker is on my laptop it selects some totally random non-memorable alphanumeric passsword so if you need to log in you need a password reset.

Don't know if this is an IOS9 fail but its very frustrating to pay $1200 for something that just docent work with your other $2000 something.

But by far the most impressive feature is turning on keychain it asks to verify you by logging into iCloud and then texting you a 6 digit code that when you enter it says was entered incorrectly. I tried about 10 times receiving a new code each time till I had to turn on my macbook to approve my iPhone with keychain.

Innovation at its finest

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.

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.
