Can't turn off Keychain on iPhone
My iCloud Keychain is not working with my iPhone. I took the suggestion to disable Keychain on my iPhone; however, if I toggle off the setting in iCloud it just comes right back on. ???

Hello Dustinlgreen,
Oh man! That definitely sounds frustrating. Let’s see if we can troubleshoot this issue. We can begin by forcing the settings application to close followed by a restart:
Force an app to close in iOS - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/HT5137
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/HT201559
If the issue persists, try signing out of your iCloud account, restart your device, then sign back in:
iCloud: Change iCloud feature settings
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2613
Turn off iCloud completely
Depending on whether you want to stop using iCloud on all or only some devices, do one or more of the following:
On your iOS device: Go to Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Sign Out (Delete Account in iOS 7 and earlier).
Cheers,
Matt M.

I finally got it to work. I'm not sure exactly what I did. I turned off the keychain on my iPad and MBA (selecting the option to save the passwords to my device so I wouldn't lose anything). Obviously I wasn't able to turn off keychain on my iPhone. I then turned keychain back on my iPad. I was then asked to approve the iPad on my iPhone so I entered in my password (I had to do it twice). The iPad was stuck on "pending." I then turned keychain back on my MBA and approved it my iPhone. Once my MBA was back on Keychain I had to finish approving my iPad. Once I did this, keychain on my iPhone was working!
Ran into the same issue - even when following the suggested steps above, still can't turn off Keychain.
Even more frustrating, I can't get Keychain approved - it just gets stuck on "Pending" no matter how many times I approve it with the SMS code sent to my phone.
I've tried everything suggested (minus reseting the iPhone completely) to no avail. None of my passwords have synced through iCloud with my iPhone. Between my MBA and my iPad, keychain is working without error; it just doesn't sync on my iPhone.
Hey Dustinlgreen,
Thanks for the follow up. If your issue persists after following the above articles, you may find more information by using another one of Apple’s support resources - https://getsupport.apple.com/
