iPhone iCloud Keychain not syncing

So recently my iPhone stopped syncing my keychain information from my Macbook.

I've tried updating my iOS on my iPhone to the latest & OS on my Macbook to the latest, but that didn't help.

Nothing from apple support pages (https://support.apple.com/en-sg/HT203783) helped too.

I was almost going to use another password manager to store my passwords that could sync. I was starting to use google to save my new passwords.

Then I chanced upon this thread (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/8187366). Specifically this post:

"I did have some luck removing one device from my iCloud. In this case, I removed my MacBook Pro because I didn't want to re-do all my Apple Pay cards on my iPhone. But, when I did this, it triggered some kind of re-authorization of all my existing devices. So I basically had to re-enter my password on all my devices, and once that was done my iCloud passwords started synchronizing again. I don't know if it will stay that way, but we'll see."

I didn't have any spare device that I could remove from my iCloud, so I added a spare iPhone I had at home to my existing iCloud by signing into my iCloud using that spare iPhone.

And that did the trick! I can ditch my plans to use another password manager.

Hope that helps.

holi-day or horror-day?

finally, i managed to "force" myself to go on a "holiday".

i'll be gng to bangkok over the weekend with my family. 8 of us. yes 8 (not including bowie lim)! my family has kinda "expanded". that's cos the partners of my siblings and mine are tagging along. one big happy family. if my grandma weren't gng to cameron highland with her tai chi friends this weekend, that would make 10 of us, including my aunt. if you're wondering, yes i think my grandma's quite happening, to go on a holiday with her tai chi friends! i don't even have tai chi friends, not to mention holiday with them. and if you're wondering again, no i don't think they're gng there to do tai chi, at least not just tai chi alone... xP

so why the "force" and "holiday" you may ask. well, to start of with, i'm skipping school on fri, getting cj to help preach for me for cg and missing service. that alone is one big grey area which not many has ventured into. for record sake and before i get quoted wrongly, i've got all the necessary approval needed. just fyi. ;) so i decided to join my family on this trip even though i really can't afford the time for it. and if i do wait for a time when i'm free, i guess the only holiday i'm gng to is heaven. as a matter of fact, i'm constantly in a perpetual state of busyness. so that's why i need to "force" myself to spend some time with my family, to go on a "holiday".

and it's a "holiday" cos i have tons of stuffs to settle while i'm away. or rather, i've just created more stuffs for me to settle now that i'm gng on a "holiday". cos i'll have to finish a project due this fri, 2 weekly online assignments by sun night, do my tutorials for following monday and prepare a presentation for tue. that means i have to finish all that by thurs night before i leave!

happy horrorholiday..
