I have been searching the internet for answers for two days and came across this particular thread and found it interesting that this is almost the only place where it’s been described to me by others as it is happening to me. Nothing helpful from Apple. So, the next step is to find others experiencing the same frustrations.

Could it be that when you set up her MacBook Air with your Apple ID things got synced to her ID before you removed yours. Even though you removed yours it may have been too late.I have been searching the internet for answers for two days and came across this particular thread and found it interesting that this is almost the only place where it’s been described to me by others as it is happening to me.

My teen daughter has her own iPhone, MacBook Air and iPad. I have my own iPhone, MacBook Pro and iMac. We have both had our own Apple iD’s for many years. We do Family Sharing and have never shared devices. The only thing I have it set up for is for her Screen Time limits and so she can’t buy things without my permission as well as to share our Apple Music, Apple TV + and iCloud storage account.
When I got her MacBook Air just last week, I set up the computer with my Apple ID initially, so I could create an Admin account and set up our AirPort Extreme Network. Then I set up her Apple ID for her private user account. I went back into the admin account and deleted my Apple ID from the computer. So there is no Apple ID being used on that end. The “Find My” app shows the laptop being used under HER Apple ID only.
So, why are all of MY passwords for my bank accounts, credit cards, emails, work accounts… showing up on her user account which utilizes HER Apple ID?
This is legitimate issue which has actually been discussed in some random articles I found dating back to 2019.
I’m literally an Apple customer for life. But I, much like a few others on this thread, would also like to know what to do when issues arise.
Here is the article:
New Apple bug may be sharing your Keychain passwords with Family Sharing members
A new bug in Apple's Family Sharing feature may be sharing your Keychain passwords with family members. A few Apple users say that their Keychain credentials are being synced with the rest of the family members without their permission. The issue will likely require a new patch.
I can't speak to the issue you might be having, but certainly neither one of those had anything to do with needing *your* AppleID. Or any AppleID.
It's a given that Apple continues to be incompetent wrt Internet services, but people throw money at them for it anyway. It would never even occur to me to use iCloud for anything I cared about.

Yeah, literally didn’t know it was so ducktaped together. Was happy to combine bills from 2 iCloud IDs and multiple platforms under one. Regret not investigating more now. Wouldn’t, if could figure out a fix or solution… but seems like it isn’t there.
Not looking for perfection, rather just apple acknowledging it as an issue (even if just for a few) and giving us a way to resolve it. It is our passwords and logins being put on someone else’s device. Whether they are in your family or not, this is a super insecure bug that has been happening for 2 years to users, it deserves an attempt at fixing it. It’s not that it happened that the issue, it’s that there is no way to fix it.
I don't expect perfection. But that doesn't mean I use known-broken, either. Apple's attempts at services are marred by incompetence. I migrated anything I cared about off of all iCloud-related services years ago.

Just to be clear.
It is sharing credit card numbers, and non-Google passwords, also bank account numbers.
I have family sharing and our accounts are not shared.
