Where were your saved passwords stored? Via Safari by keychain? 1Password? Another password manager?

Yes...this is how I have it.

Okay. Have you tried signing out of iCloud and signing back in?

Yes

Maybe it’s a temporary glitch in the Matrix with the entire world pulling hard on iCloud servers with iPhone 13 delivery day. I bet if you wait a while all your passwords will populate Safari keychain again.

That is so odd. Do you have access to your passwords from another iDevice?

I know it’s not ideal but until your passwords show up somehow that could be your alternative.

Did you restore from a backup or do the wireless transfer method?

1) yes I still have my iPhone Pro Max 12....

2) I did both...(backup twice)....still not there

This happened to me last year 😡 and yes I know which settings are needed and how to use iCloud/backups.

From that day keychain was thrown in the bin and I now use a well known password manager and I happily pay the small fee each month.

Very frustrating!!

I actually just went in one by one and re-did everyone....(time consuming, but I was able to delete ones I haven't used)

Is there any way to backup keychain ?

 

[now i see it]

If Keychain isn’t linked to iCloud, then yes, all of its data is included in a local or iCloud backup.

If your old devices work then maybe you can try to export the passwords? I was using chrome before and jumped to safari, chrime had an option to export passwords and then I just imported into iCloud

Import and export keychain items using Keychain Access on Mac

In Keychain Access on your Mac, you can import or export keychain items between computers.
