ICloud – Restore an older version of iCloud keychain

backupicloudkeychainrestore

I saved an important password in an iCloud keychain, then deleted it there, and then forgot the password. Pretty dumb, I know.
Still, is it somehow possible to get an older version of that keychain that still keeps the password?

I just ran into the same situation and unfortunately no you cannot restore iCloud keychain from your own backup.

See Apple's support note on the topic https://support.apple.com/kb/PH20120, specifically:

Passwords stored in the iCloud keychain are encrypted and stored on your computer and can’t be copied.

As you, I tried copying other keychain files and 'keychain-db' files, but none of the iCloud passwords were contained in those.
