WI-FI Passwords syncs proplem

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.
