OS X Mavericks :: Keychain Access Quits Unexpectedly

Dec 11, 2014

In Keychain Access I have a number of passwords for WiFi networks I am never going to use again. (Hotels etc)  So decided to delete them. 

I can delete the entries with an iCloud designation (have to type in an admin password etc) but when I try to do the same thing to the same entry but with a System designation - as soon as press "delete" the application quits. Happens every time - no matter what the item is.  For some reason the Application just doesn't like me trying to delete System designated passwords!

MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012), OS X Yosemite (10.10), Using external Cinema Display

MacBook Pro :: Unable To Access Lost Keychain / Keychain Cannot Be Found For Safari

Jun 29, 2009

I'm sure this is a very basic question, but having just made the Mac switch a week ago...I am lost. when I did a forum search, I found out how to access keychains, but I'm not sure if I found something particular to my question- please forgive me if I overlooked something.

I was downloading microsoft software last night and all of a sudden I began getting these little pop-ups that say "A keychain cannot be found for safari" with the option to cancel or reset to default.

how can I fix this so it doesn't happen?

Applications :: Safari Asking For A Password To Access The Keychain / Keychain Can't Be Found

Jan 19, 2009

Safari keeps giving me popup windows saying a keychain can't be found. It's only just started doing this but it's really annoying. Could it have anything to do with the fact I installed a new flash player? That's the only difference I can think of.Also on another computer it keeps asking for a password to access the keychain. It only does this on one user account though. Any assistance is gladly accepted!

OS X :: Using Keychain Access - Safari / Keychain Fill Passwords Automatically?

May 9, 2009

I've never used OSX before about a week ago, but I am picking up on it well (I've used GNU/Linux for almost ten years so I know my way around an operating system). But I don't really think keychain access is working as it should...It's hard to explain. I mean, the way I understand it, shouldn't it be saving the passwords I type into Safari and auto-filling them? Because it only auto-fills some passwords. Paypal autofills, but my bank's website doesn't, and even this forum doesn't autofill. I have to type in my password every time I visit.

Is this working as intended? Is there a way I can get Safari or Keychain to fill in all passwords for me automatically? This is leopard on an iMac G5 iSight model. I did a fresh install like a week ago. Sorry if my question is vague but that's the best I can do with the amount I understand.

OS X :: Keychain Access - Password To Unlock?

Oct 13, 2010

I recently created a Sparse Disk Image that I've password protected. When I try to open the Disk Image I get a popup window that has the words "Keychain Access" as the window title and the following text below that: "To perform this action you must unlock the keychain. Please enter the keychain password." Now, this is pretty straight forward (obviously). My question is, how do I (once I've unlocked the keychain and opened the Disk Image) immediately lock the keychain again so that if I step away from my computer my keychain isn't still open?

Having lost track of how I manage access to stored passwords,  I'd like to reset every password stored in my Login Keychain, so that it will always 'Confirm before allowing access" and "Ask for Keychain Password." 

Is there anyway to do this in a batch, or must I view/edit each item, one by one.

OS X :: Forgot Original Keychain Access Password?

Jul 12, 2009

I am new to this forum. I am writting on behalf of my neighbor who has forgotten her original keychain access password.

Because of that, we cant get into keychain to retrieve passwords.

She has a 10.4.7

Any clues? Ive already messed her computer up a bit by deleting a few things I shouldnt have.

OS X :: Keychain Access - Root Certificate Not Trusted

In my keychain access I have the following:
com.apple.kerberos.kdc and com.apple.systemdefault both show "This root certificate is not trusted"

I don't know what the notices mean (beyond the obvious that something is untrusted) nor do I know what to do about it.

OS X :: Keychain Access Acting Up - Enter Administrative Password

Dec 4, 2010

I don't remember ever having this problem since Keychain first appeared. About a week ago I changed my login password and now when I attempt to look at any of my Keychain passwords my computer prompts me to enter my Keychain password (which is my OLD login password) rather than allowing me to enter my new administrative login password. I don't want to have to remember two passwords when only a week ago I only ever had to enter my one current administrative password to authorize Keychain Access to allow me to look at any of my numerous passwords in its window pane. How can I get it to only require me to enter my one new/current adminstrative password? I tried "Keychain First Aid" and error messages to appeared stating: Verification Terminated Unexpectedly or Repair Terminated Unexpectedly A reviewer at MacUpdate had the same experience with Keychain First Aid that I did

Safari :: Auto-fill And Keychain Access In Lion?

Feb 9, 2012

I'm struggling to get Autofill and Keychain Access configured to operate in a rational way. Perhaps I don't understand something, but judging from all the discussion in various places, there seems to be quite a bit of confusion on the subject. What I want to do seems pretty logical and straightforward (at least to me) :  

When I visit a secure site (say for online banking), I would like to have Safari use Autofill to get the password for his site from my keychain (where it is kept securely encrypted when not in use), and fill in the username and password fields for me. What I do not want is for Safari and Keychain Access to retain that userid and password info indefinitely. For example, I logged in to pay a bill at the airport lounge, and then someone swipes my MacBook, logs in, and transfers all my funds to their bank.  

It seems that this was what was happening when I first set up Autofill... each time I went to the secure login page, Safari/Autofill/Keychain Access automatically filled in the userid and pw with no prompts, or request for authentication. This behavior might be OK for a website such as the New York Times, but it's not OK for my online banking account!  

After some reading, much of which was conflicting due to various OS and Safari versions involved, and some trial and error and testing, I came up with the following settings:  

1. In Safari, I set up Autofill to automatically supply userid's and pw's: At this point, there are no websites listed in the "Edit..." window. 

2. Next, I entered the required info (userid, pw, URL) in Keychain Access, and set its Access Control as follows:  This, I hoped would require that *each* use of the userid and pw be authenticated.  

3. Now for the test: I go to the website, and get a request for authentication: So far, this is what I had hoped for, but immediately after I supply the keychain password, I am prompted for it again as follows (I've blanked the actual name of the website):  

I want this to be secure, but entering the same keychain password twice is just annoying. I've tried various combinations and tweaks to configure this to work rationally (i.e. one and only one keychain password entry), but have not been successful. It seems that it will work with *no* authentication required, or with *double* authentication required.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Set Up Keychain Access To Automatically Login To Websites?

Feb 11, 2012

I am trying to get one password for all of my online passwords. Currently I just use the same password for all of my logins, but I was told that was a terrible idea. I would like to get keychain to create randomized passwords for all of my online logins and then I can simply enter the one keychain password everytime that i need login to something online. So I guess my goal would be for Keychain to act as the middleman, does it have that function?

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Keychain Access Won't Import Exported Keys

Feb 27, 2012

I'm created a key-pair for use with our developer account and I need to transfer the keys (both public and private) to other development machines. The problem is that although the export of both keys appears to go fine, importing the key back into keychain access fails with a dialong saying "An error has occurred. Unable to import an item." This occurs for both the public and private key exported key files. Also, it happens with other public keys on my keychain and it happens with other users also running 10.7.3.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Hanging When Opening Mail And Keychain Access?

Mar 18, 2012

I thought this best belonged in OS X Lion discussions even though Mail is affected.  I think it may be OS related as the same thing ins happening with my Keychain app. 

Basically when I open Mail or Keychain Access the app hangs for a long time - about 2-3 minutes before becoming responsive. 

Mail is not as bad as Keychain.  Mail is pretty much fine after the initial delay but Keychain hangs pretty much every time i try to navigate the UI making it unusable.
