When I connect my Mac book to the work wifi my iPhone automatically connects. I do not want the iPhone to connect.
When I ask the phone to forget the network so does the mac book and when i reconnect the mac book the phone connects as well.
How do I stop this?
Hello louiseinnes,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
I see that you don't want your iPhone to connect to the Wi-Fi network at work. So, you select "forget network" on your phone. But it also "forgets" on your MacBook, then when you connect with the MacBook, the iPhone also connects. This describes perfectly how iCloud Keychain handles Wi-Fi networks between your devices.
Are my existing saved passwords, Wi-Fi networks, and Internet accounts included in iCloud Keychain?
Yes. When you turn on iCloud Keychain, any previously-saved website usernames and passwords, Wi-Fi networks, and Internet accounts are automatically included in iCloud Keychain.
Frequently asked questions about iCloud Keychain
The only way to prevent your iPhone from connecting to your work Wi-Fi is to either turn off Wi-Fi on the phone when you are at work or disable iCloud Keychain.
Can I remove my iCloud Keychain from Apple's servers?
Yes. Use these steps on any of your iOS devices or Mac computers that are using iCloud Keychain:
Use these steps if you're using iOS 7.0.3 or later:
- Tap Settings > iCloud > Keychain > Advanced. In iOS 7, tap Settings > iCloud > Account > Keychain.
- Turn off Approve with Security Code.
- Go to each of your devices that are using iCloud Keychain and turn iCloud Keychain off.
Use these steps if you're using OS X Mavericks v10.9 or later:
- Choose Apple () menu > System Preferences. Click iCloud, then click Account details.
- Deselect “Allow approving using security code."
- Go to each of your devices that are using iCloud Keychain and turn iCloud Keychain off.
After you complete these steps, your keychain data will remain locally on your devices, but changes to your keychain information won't push to your other devices or the cloud unless you turn iCloud Keychain back on. If you want keychain data to push to all of your devices, but not to the cloud, turn on iCloud Keychain on each device, but skip the step to create an iCloud Security Code.
Best regards.
