ICloud Keychain Master Password?

Is there a way to force iCloud Keychain to ask for a master password once a day (or whatever)?
That's one thing I really like about Lastpass. I like being able to set an interval to re-login to access my passwords. I love the convenience, but I am a little nervous about someone figuring out my 4-digit screen lock and getting access to all of my accounts.

Thanks a lot.
I tried disabling iCloud Keychain in the iCloud Account Settings and deleted the Keychain from my Mac. After a restart, I re-enabled iCloud Keychain. After that, it worked. I have now access to all my passwords and secure notes, using my login-password, as xtremecarbon said.

ICloud keychain access password

Hi guys,
Safari is saving passwords both on my iphone and my mac – this iCloud Keychain does work. Cool.
Then design of the website is changing and whatnot and Safari stops entering password for me.
I go to the Keychain Access and trying to see the password.
Keychain Access is asking me for the password for "Local Items" ... hm... ok.
Local admin password does not work, my iCloud password does not work.. what password shall I use to see items stored in my iCloud keychain?
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hey there keloin,
It sounds like you are wanting to see what Safari passwords your iCloud Keychain. You should be able to do this in the Safari preferences:
How do I view the passwords stored in my iCloud keychain?
Macs using OS X Mavericks v10.9 or later:
Choose Safari > Preferences, then click Passwords.
Select the website whose password you want to view.
Select the “Show passwords for selected websites” checkbox.
Enter your system password.

How to enable iCloud Keychain for 3rd party apps?

I came across iCloud Keychain, which if enabled, lets you backup keychain passwords and restore on other iOS devices. Also read that 3rd party apps can integerate iCloud Keychain to their apps in order to ensure that the app's keychain items are backed up to iCloud Keychain. Would like to know more on what 3rd party apps can do with iCloud keychain.
Even Appls's FAQ says so:
Does iCloud Keychain work with third-party apps? Yes. Developers can update their apps to work with iCloud Keychain. Passwords saved by those apps are then kept up to date on all devices that use the app and running iOS 7.0.3 or later or OS X Mavericks v10.9 or later.
I couldn't really find implementation details. Please help.

If the the data is stored in the backup, it should restore to the iPad when you restore the backup. If that's not happening, sometimes it's becuase the data is stored on the app's server.
SInce you are not having any luck restoring the backup, I would do a Google search such as this one using thses parameters - without the quotes.
"restore candy crush backup progress"
Personally, I do not trust any game that has in app purchases like these games have. It is my paranoid belief that the game developers do not want you to be able to restore your progress.

Cannot disable iCloud keychain on iPhone

On a new iphone6+ (iOS 8.1.3), the iCloud keychain (safari passwords) will not sync to this device.
A recommended solution from apple support is to disable iCloud Keychain on all devices, and enable it on the one with the most accurate information (then re-enable it on other devices).
Unfortunately, the iPhone6+ in question will not allow Keychain to be disabled--clicking the on/off toggle appears to change the status to "Off", but upon leaving the menu, the status still shows "On".
Signing out of iCloud and back in (on the device) doesn't solve the problem of no data sync'd, nor does it allow Keychain to be disabled.
This means I effectively cannot sync data to this device...any ideas?

This is not good, Apple making users like yourself start from scratch for a problem which lies with their servers screwing up for the past few days!
Wouldn't it be nice if Apple acknowledged the problem, at least on their iCloud system status page: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/systemstatus/
It's called being proactive, Apple!

How can I prevent Safari/iCloud Keychain from saving data in our password field?

We have a web-based management system where administrators can set and update passwords for individual users. While I love iCloud keychain personally, the problem we are finding is that if the user, once prompted by Safari to Save the password in iCloud Keychain for Autofill, actually clicks 'Save Password', then our page wants to autofill that same password for any selected user or newly added user (and since we don't allow duplicates, constant errors result).
So the basic question: is there a way in HTML or Javascript to set form fields - or an entire form or div - to be ignored by iCloud Keychain, even if they are username or password fields.
We know we could just tell all our Safari users to disable in preferences with a pop-up banner, but that would be unfortunate (and IE-like)
(If this is the wrong place to find this type of info, any clue appreciated. Naturally we've searched a bunch already)

Can I remove my iCloud Keychain from Apple's servers?
Yes. Follow these steps, starting on any one of your iOS devices or Macs that is using iCloud Keychain:
Devices using iOS 7.0.3 or later:
Go to Settings > iCloud > Account > Keychain and turn off “Approve with Security Code”.
Go to each of your other devices that is using iCloud Keychain and turn iCloud Keychain off.
Macs 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 other devices that is 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 will not 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 as described earlier in this document, but skip the step to create an iCloud Security Code.

How do I access my iCloud keychain on my iPhone so that I can see the passwords?

I need to see my passwords that are stored in my iCloud keychain. How do I do that?

At the moment, you can only do that via Safari-Preferences on a Mac.

HT204053 How do I access my passwords from iCloud keychain

With iCloud Keychain, no automatic password suggestion

Today I activated iCloud Keychain on my Mac and my iPhone. The system is generally working as it is supposed to, with one exception. On many sites (for example: outlook.com and yahoo.com), Keychain will not suggest a password. Is it because these sites are of the kind “that request passwords not to be saved”?
But an option is supposed to be present in Maverick as well as in iOS 7 to force Keychain to save passwords for these sites nevertheless. On Mac OS, this is: Safari >Preferences > Passwords > Allow AutoFill even for websites that request passwords not to be saved.
But on my Mac, as well as on my iPhone, these options have disappeared.
So, on some sites like the ones cited before, I cannot obtain a suggestion of password from Keychain (and have it saved at the same time), but if I type a password of myself, when I will log in to that site the next time, Keychain will offer to save the password.
Is this normal behavior? Where are gone the options to allow saving even when sites request not to?

Open Keychain Access located in HD > Applications > Utilities
Select Passwords on the left.
Type in the name of the website top right corner of that window in the search field then delete that keychain.
Back to Safari. From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Autofill Tab.
Make sure: User names and passwords is selected.
Now select the Password tab then remove the library website name.
Now login to the library website. Click Yes to save that data to a new keychain.

When I first activated the iCloud keychain it was working great. But now it doesn't seem to be working on my iPod or iPads, i.e.: a wifi password it was able to use a few days ago over all devices now will only automatically work on the MacBook?

When I first activated iCloud keychain on my stuff (MacBook Pro, iPod and 2 iPads) it was working great and the all logged in to a wifi network that I had only used the password for on the MacBook. But yesterday the others all started asking for the password again (which I unfortunately don't remember and the friend who had it has recentlly had a stroke and also cannot remember it). I've tried turning iCloud keychain off and then back on again, but to no avail. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

What probally currputed is the battery, all type of devices do this when the battery gose out. and when it only lights up when pulged in that a sign of a bad battery. click here for support on a replacment battery. Hey dose maybe this page or this page will help.

Can i use iCloud keychain with my own passwords and not with what is assigned and stored?

Can i use iCloud keychain with my own passwords and not with what is assigned and stored?

tammersalem wrote:) <-HDMI-> (HDTV)
My main concerns are:
-If I use iTunes on my main computer, will it then be available to Apple TV?
-If I use Apple TV to download will it be available to my Main computer?
-Can the Apple TV use a media server for storage over LAN (using NTFS Samab or otherwise)?
Basically iTunes feeds AppleTv with media either syncing (copying to it) or streaming live.
Media must be compatible with AppleTV.
AppleTV requires a proper iTunes instance running - it cannot access a NAS directly.
If you store media in a folder on a NAS and it's part of the computer iTunes library (just stored on the NAS vs internal/external drive), then when running iTunes makes this content available to AppleTV.
Data will travel:
NAS > network > iTunes > network to AppleTV
As the path is potentially slower than internal/external attached drive > iTunes > network > AppleTV, it may or may not work robustly for streaming.
If AppleTv is set to sync (it can also stream in this mode), when you purchase direct on AppleTV, the media should sync back to where the itunes library is stored (via iTunes) to keep things in sync and to allow you to backup the media.
You cannot drag/drop media to/from AppleTv across the network, nor can it directly access storage itself - iTunes is an essential cog in the wheel.
The majority of commercial 'in-built iTunes media servers' will not work directly with AppleTV as it has to be 'paired' with iTunes by entering a numerical code in iTunes and does not simply see 'shared libraries'.

After Maverick install, keychain refuses master password

After upgrading Mac Mini (late 2012) to Maverick, I am unable to get anywhere as a series of apps request password access and none accept my master password, even iCloud refuses my AppleID password. Request dialog remains on top and Safari will not open. System Preference (trying to get to iCloud) hangs. Mail unable to retrieve any accounts; says passwords not valid.
Any tips or direction to documentation to repair this would be greatly appreciated as I am unable to do anything with my Mac.

Hi, nportillo,
The next time you attempt to reach Skype Customer Service, try again using a different web browser and choosing a different path through the various drop-down menu options presented. Do not choose the obvious - you have already established that path is not working. Also, look to approve a pop-up dialogue box which would connect you to start an instant message chat with a customer service agent. If you have pop-ups blocked in your browser settings, this will also impede reaching an agent.
Skype is aware of problems reaching their customer service unit via the website, however people are getting through. I have flagged your report for follow-up by those to whom I report.
Regards,
Elaine

How do I get iCloud to fill in the keychain generated password on my ebay app?

I used iCloud keychain to generate my password for ebay on my iMac. Now I want to open the ebay app on my iPhone. iCloud won't fill the in password.
Is there a solution?
Thanks.

The best way would actually going to settings on your iPhone - safari - Passwords & Autofill - Saved Passwords - "scroll down" - select the corresponding website - keep your finger on the password - copy -paste
This is the easiest way so far to access your third party apps on your devices.
I hope Apple will change that soon.

Add website and password to iCloud keychain

Is there a way to manually add a website and password to keychain? I signed up for an online bank, keychain established and saved a password but the actual login website URL is different so its not being recognized and filled-in by icloud keychain. I want to add the actual website login URL to keychain but do not see an option anywhere. Keychain does not ask me to save when i login either. Thanks.

This may help:
Check this Allow AutoFill box in Safari > Preferences > Passwords
Then navigate to the actual login page and manually add the user name and password.
Then the keychain should work.
