Hi1P_SimonH
these are not so good news.
If someone is only using an iPhone and temporarily activated iCloud Keychain there should be a way to remove it. 😔

Hi Finke03,
The encrypted secret key leaving the device is expected behavior. You can learn more about that in this article.
One follow up question that might help solve this: Did you use Quick Start to set up the new iPad? It's possible that this would transfer over the Keychain data of your wife's account directly without using iCloud.Hi1P_SimonH ,
no I did not use QuickStart.
I cannot explain how this happened?!It’s an older iPad which only receives security updates from Apple. This means also the new Apple password app is not installed (only the old one under settings).
It’s also worth to mentioned that there were two safari logins automatically there and the access to the WiFi network. So it seems that there was some sync with iCloud Keychain without actively enable it during the setup wizard.But my main concern is not about the WiFi password, it’s more about the secret key. I see the risk that if somebody compromise the Apple ID of my wife (2factor is active) or apples server, they have two parts of 1PW Login (account name + secret key), which makes it easier to brute force. That’s the reason why I don’t want to have this key stored in the cloud. Instead I want to scan the emergency kit for new devices.
