Delete passwords from keychain access

How to delete passwords from Keychain Access?

In Keychain Access a password is an element in a key, for example an internet site that you log into will be contained in a file in Keychain Access. They are shown one per line.
Inside that key will be the url location, username , password.
You can highlight the relevant key / file and control click on it and delete it.
Just a cautionary note, if you no longer use it, it does no harrm to just stay there.

Can't Get Mail Password From Keychain Access.

My neighbour wanted to be reminded of his Mail password.
So we opened Keychain Access and clicked on his internet password and then clicked the i at the bottom of the window.
A new window opened with "Attributes" at the top and we clicked on the "Show Password" box at the bottom.
A window then opened for his Keychain Password. It was different from mine. Mine simply has a Sancel and an OK button at the bottom.
His had 3 buttons - "Deny", "Allow Once" and "Allow Always". (I am not sure whether I have got those last two exactly right).
When he first got his G5 iMac he did not use a password in the initial setup of the computer and never has had one. So we left it blank (except for the flashing cursor) and pressed the Allow Always button.
It said the wrong password had been entered. We tried again several times using each of the Allow buttons but were refused each time.
As the computer has never had a login password what should we do?
I assume that his keychain access password window looks different from mine because he has an earlier version of Tiger than I do.
Ian.

Thanks Matt.
I can't try it now but I suspect it will work.
The big puzzle is why it said the wrong password had been entered when he has no password and we left the box empty.
Four years ago when I too had no password, simply leaving a password request box empty and clicking OK worked.

How do I export all my passwords from keychain access to my new Mac?

I just purchased a new Air because of problems with my Pro. I was able to get into the computer and I see all my passwords. But when I go to export the passwords I need, the "export" button is in gray.
How do I export the passwords?
Could I just copy the application to a flash drive and move to my Air, or is there a way to sync the passwords?
Thx

Ok
Thanks
I guess I will try that again...
If anyone else has tips, PLEASE let me know
thx

My computer continually asks me to enter my password for Keychain access. This problem is continuos and I am having trouble with eliminating it.
I have changed my password through Security and my Accounts numerous times to no avail.
Is there anything I can do other than Resetting the entire computer and re installing all of the software, apps, etc.etc.

Back up all data before proceeding.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select
          Change Settings for Keychain "login"
In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
From the menu bar, select
          Keychain Access ▹ Preferences... ▹ First Aid
There are four checkboxes in the window that opens. Check all of them. if they're not already checked. Close the window.
Select
          Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.
If you use iCloud Keychain, open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the Keychain box. You'll be prompted to delete the local iCloud keychain. Confirm. Then re-check the box. Follow one of the procedures described in this support article to set up iCloud Keychain on an additional device.

Retrieving network password in Keychain Access?

I just upgraded to Snow Leopard and moved.
I used to have the password for the new network stored on my Keychain Access. Now, however, when I try to log on, I'm asked for the password.
I went to look for the password in Keychain Access, and there is a password listed, but it's a long string of lower case letters and numbers -- it looks like some sort of code, rather than the original password.
Is there any way I can translate that long string into the real password? Or any way I can restore the old password?
Thanks for any help.

Susan, you will probably by now have done what you said you were to do and set the airport from scratch. Nevertheless there is no harm in setting up the router his sister left. No need to worry about the keychain for this. Clear, that is "reset' to factory defaults as I believe Direwolf was saying. Then start again. Reset by using the button on the back of the router. You then use the default password and admin username (probably on the soleplate of the router). Download user manual from web if need be.
When I look in keychain for wireless passwords, I see plain text, but I use plain text WPA2 passwords, poetry in lower case no spaces no punctuation and 62 characters long. His sister may have set a hexadecimal password. Someone I know keeps changing her ISP (in Spain). I keep re setting the collection of routers she gets from the ISPs with the same settings so she has four 'plug and play' routers in case one fails.

How do you recover passwords from keychain ?

My password file was compromised. How do I recover my passwords from Keychain ?

Launch the Keychain Access application. Double-click a password item in your keychain. Check the box labeled Show password. Enter your login password (or keychain password, if different) when prompted.

Asking for password for keychain access, but won't accept my password... What's up with this?

Restarted my MacBook just now and it's got a continuous stream of pop ups asking for password for keychain access, won't accept my password, won't go away (cancel), any suggestions.

Hello Al323,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with Keychain Access on your Mac. I found a couple of articles I suggest for the issue you described.
Your keychain uses your the same password as your login password. If it is not accepting that password, I recommend running the Keychain First Aid using the steps in this article:
Mac OS X 10.6: Solving problems with keychains
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7296
If you are still repeatedly seeing a prompt to enter your Keychain Access password, you may need to reset your keychain. This will create a new keychain so any saved passwords on the old keychain will not be available, and you will need to enter them when accessing sites for the first time again. Follow the steps in the article below to create a new keychain:
OS X: Keychain Access asks for keychain "login" after changing login password
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1631
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Sheila M.

Cannot remove key from keychain access

I just upgraded to Lion today (7/14/2012) on my mother's 1 year old iMac, and cannot get Back to My Mac working in iCloud with my account.
I've tried the trick of removing the Back to My Mac keys from Keychain Access to fix this, which worked on my own MacBook Pro, but here I get an error that the key(s) cannot be found.
Does anyone have any other advice on how to get Back to My Mac working in iCloud?

I also tried Keychain Firstaid, to no avail.

Missing view option passwords in keychain access

When i open keychain access the option to show passwords has gone.
Why and how can i restore it ?
Thanks Terry

Hi Linc,
When l open the keychain access box the list headings when l choose passwords are
: Name| Kind | Date Modified | Keychain | and this one used to be passwords but is now blank|
but of course it had a series of dots before where the passwords should be, now there are no dots below.
Then from the drop down list l could opt to ` show passwords' and they would appear, but the heading and the dots are no longer there beneath,
and l don`t have the option to show them from the drop down menu, so it`s not the main password but the option to remind myself what all passwords l chose
are, slightly dissconcerting to say the least.
l hope this isn`t too long winded, l wondered if l had caused this myself somehow or more worryingly someone or thing else.
Regards,
Terry
P.S. l know l can use Safari for the Safari saved passwords but that is not the point, l don`t like my mac hiding personal data from me, it seems odd .
Thanks again.

Mail.app blocked from Keychain access by Sandboxd

Working on a clean install of Yosemite. Worked perfect for the first 2 weeks. Then mail all of a sudden cannot send without putting in admin creds for keychain access. I have done all the keychain resets, removed the account and re-added it. Obviously there has to be a way to add an application to trusted status for Security Server/sandbox to allow it access. The question is where and how.

I'm having the same issue since yesterday night, after changing the configuration of one specific SMTP connection.
Mail has been asking me for passwords several times in a row on every click in the inbox or on sending a mail.
The log message is the same, along the lines of "Mail(xxx) deny authorization-right-obtain system.keychain.modify".

Trouble with login password in Keychain Access

Since upgrading to Snow Leopard, my "Login Password" seems to have changed. Not my account password, thankfully, but the Keychain Access Login Password that enables me to access my Login Keychain. I certainly did not change it, but the password I used in 10.5.8 doesn't work anymore. This has actually happened on two different machines
I tried the 'First Aid' function in Keychain Access and got this error message:
Checked password for ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain
*Password for ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain is not the same as login password*, so keychain can't be unlocked automatically
Login password could not be synchronized with keychain ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain (-128)
Unable to read settings for ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain
Okay, so how can the Password for the Login Keychain be different from the, uh, Login Password?!?!
Is there any way to reset a Login Password, or do I just have to start a new one from scratch (really don't want to have to do that)?

the password for any keychain can be set to anything you want. by default the password for you login keychain is set to be the same as you account password but that's done just for your convenience so that it can be unlocked automatically when you log in. those passwords are completely independent otherwise. changing one has no effect on the other. that said, unless you changed the account password or the keychain password yourself what you are seeing should not be happening.
did you change your account password? if not your keychain could be corrupt.
in Keychain Access is your login keychain locked? if it is select it and click on the lock above. if the keychain works ok it should ask you for the keychain password to unlock it. does it work?

Login keychain keeps disappearing from Keychain Access Utility

I'm running OSX 10.8.3 on a mid 2009 MacBook Pro, and having several problems with passwords and perhaps permissions.
There are two users on this computer, one for me and one for my wife. Mine was set up long before hers, but she uses it more because I use a newer Mac now.
On her account, everything seems to function normally. It's my account that is causing problems.
For example, mail can't remember my passwords. I have gmail (and others) configured in Mail, and when I go to check the account settings, everything is right except the password space is blank. When I start mail, it prompts for the passwords for each of the mail accounts, I enter it, and it prompts again, endlessly.
Also, I can't log in to iCloud from that computer, although I can login from my browser on the same Pro, and from my iPhone and from my MacAirbook using the same account and password. (This may or may not be related - I don't know.)
When I open KeyChain Access, the upper left panel shows only two Keychains - System and System Roots.
I tried File/Add Keychain and pointed to the login.keychain in home/library/keychains. The login keychain shows up in the upper left panel, and the passwords for all my previously added logins all show up when I click on the login keychain in the upper left panel and then click on the passwords category in the lower left panel of Keychain Access.
But when I quit keychain access and restart it, or when I restart the computer and go back to keychain access, the login keychain has again disappeared again.
I have tried keychain "verify" and "repair" but verify says everything is OK, no problems, and so repair doesn't fix anything. It checks the login.keychain and says there are no problems.
Any suggestions?

OK, I spoke too soon. It's ALMOST fixed, but there's still one niggling litte problem.
When I start up my computer, it first asks me to log in (as it should).
Then, after it begins to load everything, the following message pops up.
"Mac OS wants to use the "myname logins" keychain. Please enter the keychain password"
I enter it and that's the end of the problem until the next time I start up the computer. This is a huge improvement to what it was previously doing, but I'd like to fix that, too.
I am wondering if it's related to a problem with the configuration of my login keychains.
When I open KeyChain Access, it shows 2 login keychains, one called "login" and the other "myname logins" (I added the second one to solve the problem at the beginning of this topic - April 22 above).
The one OS X asks for is myname logins.
Myname logins contains passwords for my LAN, but nothing for the airport itself.
The "Login" keychain contains passwords for my airport/time capsule. But there are 8 different entries for it, 4 of them with the same "Date modified" and 4 more with a second "Date modified".
This login keychain also contains many obsolete entries for ISPs I no longer use, and for routers I used once or twice in clients' offices several years ago.
So, 5 questions.
Can I remove all these obsolete keychain items?
Can I remove some of the duplicate items?
Should I consolidate these to one keychain or should I leave them separate?
If I should consolidate them, how do I do it?
Will consolidating them solve my problem with OS X asking for my keychain login password when my configuration is loading?
Thanks.

How to remove Sophos kechain from Keychain Access?

Hi, I uninstalled Sophos from my mac with the provided uninstaller. But it has left the sophos keychain item it seems.
When I right click on it, a menu appears but the delete option is not listed.
I went looking for the actual keychain item but I could not locate the "Sophos Anti-Virus" folder in /Library
Any ideas on how to get rid of this keychain entry in my Keychain Access?
Thanks.

Hi, i have the same problem as MacMan998. In the keychain application a Sophos keychain pops up (see picture). I deinstalled Sophos a couple of weeks ago. There is no folder in Macintosh HD/Library/Sophos... anymore. I can't find any keychain file which could be related to the Sophos antivirus. I even deleted the .plist files from the prefences. I have no Idea how to fix this problem. I would like to ask if anyone has a solution for this problem. Picture of the keychain:
Thank you very much!Nestragon

Deleting certificates in Keychain Access???

I noticed in my Keychain Acess that I have a slew of certificates which (1) I'm not sure what their purpose really serves and (2) there's a ton of them with names I don't recognize and draws my suspicion.
What purpose do these certificates serve and what would happen if I deleted them?
And just to clarify: I'm not talking about my passwords, etc. in Keychain Access. I'm specifically referring to Certificates which I find by clicking on: System Roots and Certificates.
Thanks for any help.

If you delete a certificate, the source that gave you the certificate will just offer another one when you authenticate. Certificates are just a way for encrypted connections to establish identity between a client and server. The server will digitally sign a certificate that contains a public key as well as some personal information that's used by the service you're connecting to. Certificates are provided by the service, and can have expiration dates and such.
Cookies are similar in ways, but they arent as versatile and secure. They're generally used to let your browser keep track of when you last visited a site, perhaps contain a password for the site, and other user settings for a site. Certificates are mainly used for authorizing access to a service.
