ICloud Keychain - Suddenly Missing Passwords

Hi guys,
I've been using Yosemite and finally decided to take full advantage of iCloud keychain and Safari Autofill. So I've been saving my login details and different usernames for websites everywhere and it's been great. Until a few days ago. Suddenly Safari doesn't remember any of them it seems. If I go to "usernames and passwords" or whatever in Safari's settings there is now nothing listed? I didn't upgrade anything or change any setting that should have effected or deleted these things? I've also went into my Keychain Access app and I'm not finding passwords there either. Any idea what could have caused this? I haven't upgraded my phone or changed settings there either?
Any ways to get them back you think? I don't have a backup recent enough as I've just started doing this a couple weeks ago.
Thanks

Back up all data. Open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the Keychain box. You'll be prompted to delete the local iCloud keychain. Confirm. Then re-check the box. Follow one of the procedures described in this support article to set up iCloud Keychain on an additional device. Test.

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.

ICloud Keychain: username and password form on separate pages

Hello,
I really like using iCloud Keychain. I am, however, unable to store a username and password for two web sites. Both sites use a separate page for username and password. It appears that Safari does not see the web form on each page. I have attempted to manually add the usernames and passwords to Keychain Access on my iMac, however, it had no effect. Note that I have also enabled the Safari options "Autofill usernames and passwords" and "Allow Autofill even for websites that request passwords not be saved."
Has anyone experienced Safari not showing a prompt to save usernames/passwords and found a solution?
Thanks,
Bryan

II'd rather not disclose the financial institutions i do business with, but my bank and two mutual fund websites use separate pages for username and password. I chec around, and if you go to the Bank of America website, they do it as well. Keychain does not work on any of the three sites I use.
Thanks for your help.

When you say: "Make sure your SP allows sending e-mail"
Do you mean the provider who give me the mail service?
Because I know for sure that with MS Outlook express I can send and recive e-mail with it

ICloud Keychain saved wrong password

I was just updating my passwords using the password generator facility in OSX Mavericks 10.9.1 and the password in the keychain is now showing "xxxxxxxx" when I select to show the password or copy the password instead of the complex password suggested by the password generator. Now I can't access my email and I can't reset the password automatically either.
Wish I had left my passwords alone now or used a different method of password management!

Do you use Time Machine and have a backup on hand?
If so, restore an older copy of your keychain from ~/Library/Keychains or just search for "Keychain" in TM.

ICloud Keychain and multiple passwords

If I have many different usernames and passwords on the same page, how can I get Keychain to show me all the different options? Pressing "fill in…" fills only one of those passwords. On a Mac it's really simple.

Well ... I found the issue ... if there is data in the field, Safari does not prompt with the other usernames.
So you have to delete the field first, even though Safari fills it in, and it will then prompt with all the usernames.

Why can't I re-enable iCloud Keychain on my iMac?

Hi,
I recently noticed that iCloud Keychain stopped syncing passwords between my devices. While my iMac was up-to-date, my iPad mini, iPhone and MacBook weren't. I found a support article that suggested disabling iCloud Keychain on all devices and re-enabling it later. I followed that advice only to be presented with a completely new issue.
On my iMac (27" Late 2012, Mac OS X 10.9.1), when I try re-enabling iCloud Keychain, I get the following error message after waiting for a few minutes:
"iCloud Keychain couldn't be set up because there was a problem communicating with iCloud. Try turning on Keychain again." (transcribed for sight-impaired users and search engines)
I've tried this about a dozen times over the past few weeks now (just in case it is a server-side error), but still no luck. I tried investigating and found the following error message pop up in Console at the same time as the error in the above image:
13.02.14 16:44:59,761 com.apple.preferences.icloud.remoteservice[9342]: [AOSAccounts] : [registerCredentials] : SOSCCSetUserCredentials Error The operation couldn’t be completed. Invalid argument.
Does anybody have any suggestions on what I could try to overcome this issue? Or could anyone from Apple see if there is something wrong with the iCloud Keychain data in my account?
Any kind of help is greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Alex

This is a shot in the dark, but try this:
log-in to your iCloud account with your Apple ID
change your password
ensure your billing information is up-to-date
attempt to re-enable your Keychain (again)

Copy and transfer iCloud keychain

I've been using iCloud Keychain and Keychain Access with one iCloud ID and now want to transfer the saved sites/passwords to another iCloud ID. Can I do this, and if so, what are the steps to do it? Thanks

Found my solution. When you are setting up a new primary iCloud account, iOS 8 will ask if you want to merge your Safari data. Click on yes, and all your iCloud keychain saved sites/passwords will merge into your new primary iCloud account.

Can anyone tell me why iCloud keeps rejecting my password and then all of sudden it will. It also won't load in my keychain.

HT203783 Safari and iCloud Keychain not prompting for password

In Safari 8.0 (Yosemite) a prompt appears telling me to turn on iCloud Keychain to have a secure password suggested. I already have it on and all autofill boxes are enabled in Sarari. What is missing to have it suggest the password?

The way to check is to go to Control Panel and search for "iCloud". If iCloud appears (see first image below), double-click on it. This will be the iCloud control panel for Windows. If he is syncing his computer with his iCloud account it will look similar to the second image below.

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.

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.
