How Safari keeps your credit card info secure
Credit card information is encrypted in your macOS keychain. It’s also encrypted in your iCloud Keychain if it’s set up on your Mac.
If you remove credit card information in Safari, it’s deleted from your macOS keychain. It’s also removed from your other devices if your Mac and other devices are set up for iCloud Keychain.
For security, set up your Mac to display the login window when it starts up and to require a password after sleep or a screen saver begins. Set up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch to require a passcode to unlock the screen: Go to Settings > Face ID & Passcode (or Touch ID & Passcode), then tap Turn Passcode On.
Important: Safari autofills your information for anyone who uses your Mac with your user login. It also autofills your information for anyone who uses your other devices, if those devices and your Mac have iCloud Keychain set up.
