Yahoo!gate has prompted me to finally investigate iCloud Keychain randomised website passwords. The sharing of said passwords between my three devices is running smoothly, but when logging into iCloud.com only two devices are shown.
The two 'good' devices are a Mini running 10.9.5 and an iPhone running 10.0.2. The missing device is a MacBook, also running 10.9.5. The MacBook is logged into iCloud; can access iCloud Keychain data (just realised I haven't checked if it can 'upload' amended passwords); can see iCloud Tabs in Safari from the other two devices but doesn't 'broadcast' its own tabs back; is visible and playsoundable from Find My iPhone; but does NOT appear in 'my devices'.
Logging onto appleid.apple.com the MacBook is still 'missing', and the instructions given there on how to add a device seem to strongly imply that I need Yosemite installed (not happening) which begs the question 'why is the Mini listed?'.
Any clues? If 10.10 is a prerequisite and the Mini is there by some historical happy accident, then I guess the ability to use iCloud Keychain will also eventually fall victim to galloping upgradeitis. In which case, as I've no intention of moving either computer beyond 10.9, I might as well look into a third party password manager now...
