Hi joephyditz,
The Keychain new feature that works as a syncing password manager for Safari on iOS and Macs. It doesn't function with third-party applications unless the apps were designed with iCloud keychain support in mind, which is a lot easier said than done because the iOS makes it hard to copy-paste passwords. Manage passwords using keychains on Mac. MacOS uses keychains to help you keep track of and protect the passwords, account numbers, and other confidential information you use every day on your Mac computers and iOS and iPadOS devices. You can use the Keychain Access app on your Mac to view and manage your keychains.
Passwords In Keychain Mac
I understand that you're being prompted for your keychain password, but that it is not accepting what you've written down as the correct password. I know that it's nice to be able to record your information through your keychain, so I'm happy to provide some direction to help with this!
It seems that you may be able to simply reset the login keychain password to resolve this issue. Check out the steps we've outlined here:
If you don't know your old password, the solution is to create a new login keychain.
If you know your old password, use that password to update your existing login keychain:
- Open the Keychain Access app, which is in the the Utilities folder of your Applications folder.
- From the Edit menu, choose “Change Password for Keychain 'login.'”
- Enter the old password of your user account in the Current Password field. This is the password you were using before the password was reset.
- Enter the new password of your user account in the New Password field. This is the password you're now using to log in to your Mac. Enter the same password in the Verify field.
- Click OK when done, then quit Keychain Access.
