If you can't sync iCloud Keychain with other devices
Make sure that your device is on a Wi-Fi or cellular network. If the connection appears strong, try these steps:
- Turn off iCloud Keychain on all devices.
- Turn on iCloud Keychain on the device that has the most up-to-date keychain items.
- Turn on iCloud Keychain on your other devices. They will be updated with your new iCloud Keychain.
If you can't view the passwords stored in iCloud Keychain
On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 9 or later:
- Tap Settings > Safari > Passwords.
- Use Touch ID or enter your device passcode.
- Tap a website to view your password.
On your Mac with OS X Mavericks 10.9 or later:
- Choose Safari > Preferences, then click Passwords.
- Select a website to view your password.
- Select Show passwords for selected websites at the bottom of the window.
- Enter your Mac password.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Kind Regards.
