Have a question, I would like to reset my safari browser, without losing my passwords and credit cards info, I have a backup of my bookmarks, how do I go about it, I'm not sure if iCloud will re-populate that area. I have Big Sur. Thanks in advance.
Got a tip for us?

This was asked some time ago and it relates to "keychain" stuff. Tried searching it on google and found this link: https://smallbusiness.chron.com/back-up-safari-bookmarks-passwords-76647.html
Where it says: "On a Mac, click the Apple menu, then click "System Preferences." Click "iCloud" and then "iCloud Keychain." Log in with your Apple ID and password, and enter the security code you created or request confirmation on your phone. Once your iOS and macOS devices are all set up to use the system, they will each prompt you to securely save passwords, payment information and other sensitive data to the cloud for safekeeping from Safari."
Hope it helps you out.
