Q: web form password
1. What's the difference between web form passwords, application passwords and internet passwords. Why is a definition not easily available on the "help" screens.
2. Who's in charge? Keychain or Safari. If ipad created the password, iphone doesn't recognize it. If imac created the password, iphone recognizes it but ipad doesn't. If you delete history and/or cookies on ipad or iphone they "forget" their passwords even though they exist in Keychain. If you delete keychain on ipad to re-install on ipad and theoretically pick up a fresh copy of Keychain from icloud, ipad still doesn't "know" the password.
If you then manually type in the password on ipad, say for Google account, then it does remember it.
So who's in charge. One would suppose that the "master" keychain would be "cloud" server based and available to all devices, at least for refresh/reinstall purposes if not on a streaming bases but apparently not???
iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11.5)
