Greetings, appleQs2018.


I see that you're having an issue with Safari or an application not filling in your username or password. I'm happy to help.


Get help with iCloud Keychain -- See if the username and password is stored in iCloud Keychain by going to Settings > Accounts & Passwords > App & Website Passwords. If it's saved on a different device, you can sync iCloud Keychain with your other devices.

If you want to sync iCloud Keychain with other devices

Make sure that your new device has the latest version of iOS and the latest version of macOS. Then, make sure that your device is on a Wi-Fi or cellular network. If the connection appears strong, try these steps:

  1. Turn off iCloud Keychain on all devices.
  2. Turn on iCloud Keychain on the device that has the most up-to-date keychain items.
  3. Turn on iCloud Keychain on your other devices. They will be updated with your new iCloud Keychain.


Take care!
