Q: Passwords are missing from autofill and keychain
For a couple months now there are passwords on a bunch of sites that no longer autofill when they used to. When I go into Safari preferences and search for the domain or open up the Keychain and search for the domain nothing is showing up when I am sure they were there before. Initially I assumed that it was because I somehow accidentally deleted them but, when I type in a password into the box Safari asks me: Do you want to update the password saved in your iCloud Keychain for "xxxx@yyyyy.com"?. If I type int he correct password I don't get the same dialog box so the passwords are still somewhere. Even if I click "Update password" it still doesn't show up in the safari passwords or in my iCloud Keychain (or any other keychain). Thoughts?
I have always been up to date with the latest versions of Safari and Yosemite.
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2), Safari 8.0.4

Here is what I did:
- Disabled keychain in iCloud System Preferences
- backed up, then deleted the GUID folder inside Library/Keychains.
- Restarted my computer (logging out and logging in didn't help).
- Re-enabled keychain in iCloud System Preferences
- Waited for sync to finish
Everything is back to normal now!
Thank you,
Nate
