Saving passwords WITHOUT iCloud Keychain.

I HATE iCloud. I’ve never used it. I just want my stuff saved on my device. But somehow my device was hooked-up to iCloud for keychain passwords. Is there a way to go back to saving passwords only on my device? I lost all of my passwords turning off the sneaky-keychain.


Thanks in advance.

iPad Air, 12

That is contradicted here, unless you took pains to avoid the standard method of turning off Keychain.

My info was not stored on this device after I hit the green keychain tab and turned it off. And, I’ve had iCloud turned off for as long as I can remember so how did apple change my setting to add their keychain? I will check my older devices to see if my PWs are still there. But from here on out I think I’ll just enter each as needed.


thank you.
