Apple has removed iCloud Keychain as a launch feature of iOS 7. The company recently updated its iOS 7 What's New page to reflect the change.

iCloud Keychain. Coming soon
Lots of things you do on the web require passwords. Now iCloud can remember your account names, passwords, and credit card numbers for you. And Safari will enter them automatically whenever you need to sign in to a site or shop online. It works on all your approved iOS 7 devices and Mac computers running OS X Mavericks. And with 256-bit AES encryption, it’s highly secure.

It's expected that iCloud Keychain will added back to iOS 7 in an update that could coincide with the release of OS X Mavericks.

The keychain wording was removed from the iCloud section and placed under safari under the title "Passwords and AutoFill". To locate this go to Settings, Safari, and then click on "Passwords and AutoFill". Credit Cards, login in passwords can now be stored and edited if need be.

Hell, yeah, why bother worrying about getting judges to rubberstamp spying requests when you can simply access a single file on Apple itself!

Since Apple and others have given away everything to the NSA, why can't we get something useful for our tax billions and have them offer these services?
