Syncing passwords

How can I get my passwords to sync cross my devices? When I travel with my MacBook Pro I can't access some sites because I have used the suggested Apple password on my iMac at home.

MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)

The home computer needs to have Keychain syncing checked in System Preferences/iCloud.

I looked there but all I could do was to check k Keychain so it would remember passwords on this computer but I don't know how to have my home com putter share passwords with this computer and visa versa.
