iCloud Keychain switches itself back on

[Manek43509]

Just setting up a new Mac Mini running Catalina. Since this is going to be used with my TV, and won't have a main password, I don't really want to have all my login passwords, online banking details, etc. accessible on it! I have signed in with my Apple ID, but then tried to switch off all the syncing in Preferences – including iCloud Keychain… The Mac asks me if I am sure I want to do this, and to reenter my Apple ID password, which I do. And then iCloud Keychain switches off. But two minutes later it switches itself back on again! Every time!

Anyone have any idea why this is happening, or how I can possibly stop this?!

I found I needed to turn it off, sign out, reboot, sign in, turn it off again, sign out, and reboot, then it seemed to stick.

God they don't like to make it easy, eh? Thanks, I'll give that a go in a bit!
