iCloud Keychain and swapping devices

[ivanwi11iams]

With the idea of security and protecting all your data, growing more and more, I'm now looking into iCloud Keychain.

Currently, I use a few methods for security. Example, Multi-factor Authentication (MFA), or Two-factor Authentication. Often these require an app, or text message code confirmation, prior to logging into an application or website portal.

I've been curious about iCloud Keychain for a while, and thus curious who uses it?
In particular, do you use it, AND, do you happen to swap devices often (whether that be between iOS devices or iOS to Android). If swapping devices often, do you encounter any issues, loss of data etc. (I know iCloud Keychain isn't available on Android).

Thanks in advance
Ivan

Use it, love it, swap devices all the time, not really had any problems with iOS devices. On Macs it can be a bit more temperamental upon setup but it's still really convenient.

Some behavioural things that take a bit of adjusting: iCloud Keychain syncs Wi-Fi passwords, too - so if you connect one of your devices to a new Wi-Fi network, expect others to start connecting in the future too - and if you forget a network (e.g. for troubleshooting purposes), all of your devices will forget the network.
