I have an iMac, I save my login/passwords in keychain to login to websites. I also have an iPhone 6+. Initially, I did not have keychain enabled on my phone. Is there any way to transfer all those saved login/passwords to my iPhone, so I don't have to keep finding my login details when I'm on my phone? I am up to date with current software on both devices.

When you get to a log in page on your phone, click inside the username or password field. You'll then get a pop up that says "suggest password" & "other passwords". Choose "other passwords". This will then have you log into your Apple ID & you can search the keychain info saved on your iMac.

Thank you, I'll try that!

I didn't get a popup menu, so this did not work. What am I doing wrong?

Sorry for the late reply. I think I missed a step in my instructions. Once you click in the passwords field, select passwords then you'll get the pop up. Here's a screenshot to help.
