hey....i cant figure out how to make it so when i open ichat it always asks for a password...you can do that for regular aim...one thing i can do is make it so it doesn't auto log in but it still saves the password and anyone can access my ichat

any one help?
 
Open Keychain Access (located in /Applications/Utilities) and there should be an application password item called 'AIM: <your username>'.

Click on it and press the delete key, or right click and select Delete. The next time you log in, it should ask for your password - make sure that 'Remember this password in my keychain' is not selected, or you'll have to go through the process again.

If you have different iChat accounts (eg. Jabber or .Mac), then just look for that service name instead in Keychain Access.
