Why isn’t Safari saving my passwords?
There can be several reasons why Safari isn’t saving your passwords. Firstly, you should check if you have enabled password saving in Safari’s settings. To do this, go to Safari > Preferences > Passwords and check if the "Autofill user names and passwords" option is selected. Also, make sure that the website you are logging into has not disabled password saving.
Secondly, check if you have disabled cookies in Safari. If you have, then Safari won’t be able to save your passwords. To check this, go to Safari > Preferences > Privacy and make sure that "Block all cookies" is not selected.
Thirdly, the problem may arise due to any third-party security software or firewall on your device. If you are using any third-party security software on your device, you may want to check if it is blocking Safari from saving your passwords. Try disabling such software temporarily and see if Safari can save your passwords.
In case none of these solutions work, you can try resetting Safari. Go to Safari > Preferences > Advanced and click on "Reset". This will reset Safari’s settings to their default values, and may help in resolving the issue.
Overall, Safari not saving passwords can be due to various reasons ranging from simple configuration settings to malware or third-party security software. By following the above steps, you can troubleshoot the common issues and may resolve the problem.

Where did my Safari passwords go?
If you are unable to locate your Safari passwords on your iPhone or Mac, there are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue.
First, check to see if iCloud Keychain is enabled on your device. To do this on an iPhone, go to Settings > Your Name (at the top) > iCloud > Keychain. On a Mac, go to System Preferences > Apple ID > iCloud > Keychain. Make sure that the switch next to iCloud Keychain is turned on.
If iCloud Keychain is enabled and you still cannot find your Safari passwords, try resetting your iCloud Keychain. On an iPhone, go to Settings > Your Name > iCloud > Keychain > Advanced > Reset iCloud Keychain. On a Mac, go to System Preferences > Apple ID > iCloud > Keychain > Advanced > Reset iCloud Keychain.
If resetting iCloud Keychain does not work, try checking to see if your Safari passwords are stored in a third-party password manager such as LastPass or 1Password, if you have one installed.
