Hi all, would appreciate some checking if you have something similar going on, or any tips on how to resolve.

I have an iPhone on iOS 18 and a new MBP on Sequoia. On my iPhone, the Passwords app (and the list of known WiFi passwords in settings) is 26 items long. On my Mac in the Passwords app, there are only 6 listings, and the only pattern I can think of is that it's the networks I've connected to since getting the Mac. It is the same in the "Advanced" section of WiFi settings, only the 6 networks are listed, instead of all 26 networks known to my iCloud Keychain.

In Keychain Access, I can see all 26 of the WiFi passwords in my iCloud Keychain. But only the 6 visible in the Passwords app are listed in the Mac's System Keychain as well.

Anything with Keychain not syncing properly kind of stresses me out. I have tried disabling and re-enabling iCloud Passwords sync, and rebooting, but no change.

Can anyone say if they also see a discrepancy between devices with the Passwords app and known WiFi networks? And any suggestions to troubleshoot further, outside of considering a system wipe and restore?

Thank you!

Bumping this up - almost 300 Wi-Fi networks saved on the iPhone. However, little over 200 on the Mac and just shy of 40 on the iPad show up thru the new Passwords app. How do we get them sync across the board? Passwords and Keychain is toggled ON under iCloud settings on all three devices.
 
The issue persisted for me across multiple devices and system wipes/reinstalls, so I just gave up and will wait for Apple to get around to fixing it.
