Just setting up a new Mac Mini running Catalina. Since this is going to be used with my TV, and won't have a main password, I don't really want to have all my login passwords, online banking details, etc. accessible on it! I have signed in with my Apple ID, but then tried to switch off all the syncing in Preferences – including iCloud Keychain… The Mac asks me if I am sure I want to do this, and to reenter my Apple ID password, which I do. And then iCloud Keychain switches off. But two minutes later it switches itself back on again! Every time!

Anyone have any idea why this is happening, or how I can possibly stop this?!

I found I needed to turn it off, sign out, reboot, sign in, turn it off again, sign out, and reboot, then it seemed to stick.
