Gary,
My keychain passwords do not seem to work with my Banking apps on my ipad. Will the passwords in the keychain work with ipad apps? If so what am I doing wrong?
I can get keychain passwords to work if I use Safari on the ipad. Thanks, Bob

Keychain Passwords in Banking Apps?

So you are talking about specialized third-party apps, right? Ones you downloaded from the App Store?
No, those won't access your Keychain. Not sure if this is for security reasons, or that third-party apps simply don't bother with this. I can't think of a single third-party app that uses the Keychain, so probably a security issue.
The banking app I used (provided by my bank) asks me to enter my password, but it also has Touch ID functionality, so I don't need to enter my password every time. A banking app that was serious about security would also require a two-factor passcode, but few do this.
I would just copy and paste the password from Settings, Safari when you need it. Maybe ping your bank about adding Touch ID too.
Gary,
Thanks for the answer. I noticed when I update the keychain on my MAC it is not updating on my iPad. What do I need to do to make it update on the iPad?
Thanks, Bob
Bob: Make sure you have it turned on in both System Preferences, iCloud on your Mac and Settings, iCloud on your iPad.
