Hi, Yes Ricardo, you are correct that the iCloud Keychain service is off by default. A couple further notes, in order to get at these passwords, the person would have to first either get past your computer password, your Apple ID password on the iCloud site or past your iDevice passcode. It is, of course, possible that a user could have their computer or iDevice not secured properly either thus giving easier access to the Keychain. The Keychain is encrypted so is not necessarily easy to crack even if you figure out the passcode. There is, though, the possibility of simply trying some web-sites from the users history to see if they’ve are a part of your saved passwords. Some proper security protocols should certainly virtually eliminate this threat.
I am a very trusting person though and may be considered naive, so don’t take my opinions as gospel.
