Wi-Fi passwords disappeared after enabling and disabling Developer Mode – iCloud Keychain no longer syncs
Hi everyone,
I’m having a strange issue with iCloud Keychain and Wi-Fi passwords.
My devices are:
- iPhone 17
- MacBook Pro 13-inch with M1 chip
Both devices are running version 27.
The problem started after I enabled Developer Mode on my iPhone. After I disabled Developer Mode, I noticed that my previously saved Wi-Fi passwords had disappeared from my iPhone.
Since then, my Wi-Fi passwords have not been syncing correctly between my iPhone and Mac through iCloud Keychain.
I have already tried:
- Restarting both devices
- Turning iCloud Keychain off and back on
- Signing out of iCloud and signing back in
- Checking all iCloud Keychain settings
- Trying other recommended troubleshooting steps
I have also contacted Apple Support, and they are currently investigating the issue.
Other iCloud Keychain data appears to work normally, but my saved Wi-Fi passwords are not syncing.
Has anyone experienced the same problem after enabling and disabling Developer Mode?
Could enabling Developer Mode and then disabling it cause Wi-Fi passwords to disappear from iCloud Keychain?
Is there any way to force iCloud Keychain to completely resync the saved Wi-Fi passwords between my iPhone and Mac?
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
