Macintosh Keychain
Keychain Password
What it is:
- Your Keychain is what stores your Macintosh computer's login information.
- Keychains are stored under the user's library under Keychains.
What the Problem is:
- When a password for the user login is changed through the 鶹Ƶ Account Applications page the Macintosh computer will often lose the synchronization of your Keychain password and it will continuously prompt you with a message similar to this:
- Message will prompt often when logging into the computer and is also seen often when opening a web browser (e.g., , etc).
- When the user tries to type in their current password, it will shake the window and reject the password.
Solution
To solve this problem we can force the Keychain Folder to create a fresh Keychain with the user's new login information.
- Click on the desktop so you see Finder in the upper left corner.
- Select Go at the top of your screen
- Hold down the Option key and notice that a new choice, Library is presented in the list.
- Click on Library. An alternative way to get here is to follow Go > Computer > Macintosh HD > Users. Select the username of the user that is logging into the machine. Select Library.
- Under Library find the folder that is labeled Keychains.
