Aaahhh, the Keychain ! So many mysteries ( to me) there. In Keychain Access Control: What is this? What is it for? Should it be deleted? Attributes Name: EscrowService Kind: application password Account: EscrowServiceBypassToken Where: EscrowService Access Control com.apple.lakitu All...

I haven't installed a new Apple Watch app until now. I installed a few free ones and deleted a couple. About 3-5 minutes later, I was in an email app, then all of the sudden I get a message saying "Tweetbot would like access to Twitter Accounts" I wasn't even in Tweetbot! I launched Tweetbot...

Did a search and noticed a few people on Sierra had this but no answer yet. Will file a radar with Apple but worth posting here too. It doesn't happen on all my Sierra computers, in fact it only happens on the new MacBook Pro, which I restore from a Carbon Copy Clone of my 'old' MacBook Pro...

Hi, I've been frustrated with this question for the past week, and have posted the question on Apple Support forum, but no one seems to answer over there. I have 3 email accounts at one place (OVH). Last week on one of our 2 macs, the accounts (IMAP) failed to connect with the message 'unable...

Firstly i know that this has been talked about before but none of the solutions that worked that time are working now. So i have an ssh key that i use to log into servers and it is encrypted with a passphrase, when i first used the ssh key on my mac it asked for the passphrase, so i entered it...

Hi all, I use outlook 2016 for my work on my mac and i am running into a bit of an issue. My work uses exchange; however, the way the system is set up if you try to login 5x it locks you out. The system also forces you to change your pw every 4 months. I think accidentally at one point i must...

console log reporting an almost unremitting string of keychain calls don't know if my imac late 2013's beach balling issues stem from this kind of processing-commitment, but it seems like a good candidate. can anyone decipher or resolve these default 08:35:50.992265 -0500 accountsd...

Hi there I have used the Guest User account on my Mac since I got it, out of convenience and for quick logins. I have forgotten one of the passwords I need for my Virgin Media account. I have it saved in Safari. However, when I try to open my passwords or access them via Keychain, the...

Seems like a silly question, but I can't find the answer. I am in a situation where I have both my iPhone and iPad at work, and while I can use the office's open Wifi to connect the iPad (and I do), I want to use my own cellular package on the iPhone to avoid the office snooping on my usage for...

I have two scripts that I use for manipulating PDFs, and I'd like to merge them into a single one. However, I struggle to get the output from the first command to act as input for the second. Script one simply flattens the PDF with Ghostscript and modifies the file extension to differentiate...

Hey, I would like to get a deeper understanding of how keychain works, for example, when I change my account password (not resetting it) is the keychain password also change?, will it unlock automatically when I log in? Or is it remains the first password I choose when the account was first...

While using Keychain Access, the info window will automatically close after about 30 seconds. This can be really annoying when I need to copy information from the password field into an app that doesn't support cut and paste of the password. Very very annoying. Like, a serious usability issue...

I have had numerous problems with getting PKI certificates to work properly on my MBP. My issue is that I am using PKard to install US government PKI certificates from a CAC onto my Mac - I use both a MBP (late 2012) and an iMac (mid 2011). Up until a couple of weeks ago, I had no issues. Both...

Hi, Yesterday I logged in to iCloud on a work computer to look for a photo I took a while ago. iCloud asked me to change my password because it wasn't save enough. So I changed it, but because of that I got some trouble with iMessage not activating anymore. After searching a bit online I found...

So, I bought an iMac g3 (400 mhz, OS X 10.2 Jaguar ) off craigslist, and it works fine. However, when trying to set up an application, I am asked for the keychain password, which I don't have. I tried putting in the user password, but it did not work. I also looked into the keychain manager and...

Hey, 1.How does changing the user password via system preferences effects the keychain password? 2.what happens if you reset it? (Now via system preferences) 3. What causes keychain to get into pop ups loops asking for passwords? Thanks

Probably Best off to start with the background to the issue. - Mac Mini Late 2012 was behaving oddly(explained below) in El Capitan so I have: Reinstalled El Capitan - Completed Successfully Done a Disk First Aid - Completed Successfully (No Problems) Now El Capitan is reinstalled when I log...

I've just set up iCloud keychain because I was trying to find a safe way to keep all of my passwords. However, I find it VERY unsettling that anyone who knows my iPhone passcode (or computer login for that matter) can easily see all of the stored passwords. You would think Apple would allow the...

Hello dear people, I've got a small issue here. A while ago I got multiple keychain errors, and I tried to reinstall OS X again and it all failed. Thinking my HDD in my MacBook had failed I ordered a brand new SDD (Samsung Evo 850). After a successful install I get the same errors again, and my...

hi, I've setup iCloud Keychain on my iPhone 6s with iOS 9.2.1 and my iPad Air 2 with iOS 9.3 pb 7. It seems to work and I've my passwords. But when I change a password on one device it doesn't seem to update on my second device. At least until 6 hours or so (both devices are in the same wifi)...
