I have set up iCloud Keychain on all four Apple devices.  Thanks for

Didn't you already have another thread discussing this? Why start a new 
thread just to say thanks, instead of responding in the original?

 Wrong reason.
 Threads should be started, responded to then closed when solved with
a message that has the subject line:
 "SOLVED : Was re: My problem" or something similar so proper
newsreader software can attach the solution to the conversation.
 This is common politeness. You are telling the world that there *IS*
a solution and that it can be found in the same conversation as the
original problem and all the discussion. It helps to include in the
"solved" message a few "thank yous" and the solution that worked.
 It is rather like listing the solutions to the problems at the end of
a mathematics book instead of requiring the reader to go to the
library to find a second book.

 The message "solved" takes up the same bandwidth no matter whether it
is threaded or not.
 But you are correct in that bandwidth is a non-issue. Bandwidth,
storage and processing power are virtually infinite.

He forgets his passwords, so he probably forgot the original topic too.

It's pretty nice. You'll like it, I think.
