Still need help to autofill your credit-card information?
* Always enter your card's security code manually. iCloud Keychain doesn't store credit card security codes.

Some websites request that passwords not be saved. Safari won't save or autofill account names and passwords on those sites.

Frequently asked questions
Get answers to some of the most common questions about iCloud Keychain.
What information does iCloud Keychain store?
iCloud Keychain stores credit card numbers and expiration dates—without storing or autofilling the security code—and passwords and usernames, Wi-Fi passwords, Internet accounts, and more. Developers can also update their apps to use keychain, if the app is on a device that uses iOS 7.0.3 or later, or OS X Mavericks 10.9 and later.
How does iCloud Keychain protect my information?
iCloud protects your information with end-to-end encryption, which provides the highest level of data security. Your data is protected with a key that's made from information unique to your device, and combined with your device passcode, which only you know. No one else can access or read this data, either in transit or storage. Learn more.
What happens when I turn off iCloud Keychain on a device?Why Cant I Close Keychain App On My Mac Computer
When you turn off iCloud Keychain for a device, you're asked to keep or delete the passwords and credit card information that you saved. If you choose to keep the information, it isn't deleted or updated when you make changes on other devices. If you don't choose to keep the information on at least one device, your Keychain data will be deleted from your device and the iCloud servers.
Can I make sure my information isn't backed up in iCloud?
Yes.* When you set up iCloud Keychain, skip the step to create an iCloud Security Code. Your keychain data is then stored locally on the device, and updates across only your approved devices. If you don't create an iCloud Security Code, Apple can't help you recover your iCloud Keychain.
