iCloud Keychain sync

I have noticed for a while now that when I save a password in Safari on my Mac it does not seem to sync to my MacBook Air or my mobile devices. I have restarted the computer - no change. I have turned keychain on and off on the mobile devices - no change.


As suggested by Apple I have tried to uncheck keychain in iCloud on the iMac and the MacBook Air but it will not turn off.


I can air drop from Safari and it synced between my mobile devices but still not on the MacBook Air.


I am stuck and really rely on this feature.


Both mobile devices are up to date. Both computers are at Big Sur.


Thanks in advance.


Debbie

Thank you. That I know I can do. It does not address the issue of the passwords not syncing across devices. I should not have to check to see if a password appears on one of my other devices when entered on another. It is supposed to be seamless and was for a very long time.


I am bothered that I cannot even turn off iCloud Keychain on either of my computers.
