Hi
I also have the same interest and have googled "printing out keychain passwords" which is how I found your request.
I saw this on the Apple Forums - use AppleScript
here is the script that was provided. It worked for me but it only gathered a small portion of the accounts/passwords that I had established, I think the reason that happened is that I probably don't have the names for each of my password items set up the way this gathers the information, i.e. if the keychain item has the name macrumors.com, I think the below script will work but if you called it Macrumors, it will not. I am still doing some testing of this but if you cut and paste the script below into Applescript and press run, it does compile a list in a file on your desktop with the above limitation note above. I am going to change some of my names and see if that works. The other thing I found is that I put the resulting list into an MS Word file and then tried to do a search and replace for some of the junk text that gets inserted in this resulting list and Word doesn't find anything that I ask it to search and replace. It is being blocked somehow.
good luck - if you use this post your results.
Juan

This Applescript will do it. It puts the results into a plain text file named "Passwords" onto the desktop. You'll have to manually strip some extraneous characters to end up with a readable listing. The first time through you'll have to click the Allow Always and/or Allow Once button for each username/password combo, but it works well. Copy it into Script Editor and give it a shot.
set osXKeychainScriptingPath to ¬
(path to scripting additions from system domain as Unicode text) ¬
& "Keychain Scripting.app:" -- one line
set theSecuridPIN to {}
tell application "Keychain Scripting" to launch
tell application "Keychain Access" to launch
using terms from application "Keychain Scripting"
tell application osXKeychainScriptingPath
set KeyList to every Internet key of current keychain
repeat with aKey in KeyList
set theSecuridPIN to theSecuridPIN & (name of aKey) & ¬
(account of aKey) & (password of aKey) & return--one line
end repeat
end tell
end using terms from
tell application "Keychain Scripting" to quit
tell application "Keychain Access" to quit
tell application "Finder"
open for access file (((path to desktop folder) as text) & "Passwords") with write permission
set theFile to result
write theSecuridPIN to theFile
close access theFile
end tell
