    Safari making up and storing new, wrong passwords?

    On my Macbook with Ventura 13.5.2 I noticed Safari is making up additional incorrect passwords for sites I visit. So if I have a password for someexamplewebsitesite.com with the username John Smith it will add additional entries with wrong passwords. When I go to sign it, it shows lots of login...

    Password Support across apps like chrome

    Any chance macOS 14 allows using the apple password manager on apps like chrome or other web browsers? I know they have a plug-in for PCs but not for Macs.

    Is there a way that MacOS can fill in passwords in Chrome? I don't really want to export my passwords to Chrome if I can avoid it, as I would rather not have all my passwords in my iCloud and Google account. (I have to use Chrome for Work, but use Safari for most other things). If I did decide...

    Transfer WiFi Passwords from "System" keychain to "Local Items" (aka, iCloud) Keychain

    For reasons I am not sure, years of saved WiFi passwords are on my Mac under the System keychain, meaning they are not syncing to my iPhone over iCloud Keychain. I cannot figure out a way to move these items to the Local Items keychain, which is the iCloud Keychain. Dragging and dropping...

    iCloud passwords in third-party browsers?

    My prefered browser on iOS is Chrome and it's Firefox on macOS. As far as I remember, iOS does sync passwords used in Chrome to iCloud but is there a way to access those on macOS when using Firefox? Preferably without turning on either Chrome or Firefox Sync. Thanks!

    Edit: I had a much longer post than this which had edits as I learned more and corrected my previous conclusions. I've now realised that the problem is really that the High Sierra update has wiped every password from my keychain. It's not a Mail problem. Keychain has no remains of any of my...
