Disable keychain login

I have disabled keychain login on my MacBook before and when I downloaded updates it put the keychain login back in force. I do not know what the password is. How can I get into my laptop? Any help you can give is greatly appreciated

You can't reset the password on the keychain. All you can do is reset the keychain itself. Essentially, you are creating a new keychain from scratch.
First, Reset the Admin Password so you can boot and login to the main partition.
On Mountain Lion, you use the following technique to reset the Administrators password:
Boot to your Recovery Partition, by holding down the Option key while starting, and then selecting the Recovery HD as the boot choice.
Once booted, at the top of the screen is a menu ..., select Utilities / Terminal from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, type “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A “Reset Password” window will open. Select your boot volume (your SSD drive) if it is not already selected. Select your administrators username from the menu labeled “Select the user account” if it is not already selected. Follow the prompts to reset the password. Restart the computer from the apple menu.
Now reset your keychain. See this document.

How to stop frequent keychain login password requests

This problem is very irritating, I’m getting asked frequently by OS X to enter a keychain login password. What I’ve read suggests this is related to a problem with Keychain Access. One explanation says it can be caused by an administrator account password change where the default keychain password does not change, resulting in an inconsistency. I have NOT changed my account password so I don’t think this is the cause of my problem.
I’ve also tried using Keychain Access First Aid, but it currently finds no problems.
In my case, this appears to have started after an upgrade from OS X Mavericks to Yosemite. When I did the upgrade, the first problem I encountered was Mail stopped working – I was unable to send or receive mail. I could, however, go to my mail provider at their web site and view mail there just fine. That problem was resolved by using Keychain Access First Aid - I can now use Apple Mail on my "Air" just fine, but I’m still being inundated with frequent requests to enter a keychain login password. I get these requests from Mail, AddressBookSourceSync, Messages Agent, Safari, Local Items, CalendarAgent, and com.apple.MailServiceAgent.xpc.
Once I enter my login password to 3-5 of these requests, I’m able to continue working on my Macbook Air, however once I close and reopen the lid of my Air, the requests start anew.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Keychain Login: Password Requests, Login=Pinwheel

I recently had to reset my apple ID and now upon restart, Claendar Agent, Messages Agent, com.apple.icloudhelper.xpc, mail and accountsd all request the keychain password. Unfortunately, what I type does not seem correct. When I open Keychain Access and attempt to login, I get a pinwheel...
Does anyone know what has changed that would cause these password requests and more importantly how to make them stop?

Please take these steps to resynchronize the iCloud keychain. Your keychain on iCloud and your other Apple devices won't be affected. Take Step 2 only if Step 1 doesn't solve the problem.
Step 1
Back up all data.
Open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the Keychain box. You'll be prompted to delete the local iCloud keychain. Confirm—the data will remain on the servers. Then re-check the box. Follow one of the procedures described in this support article to set up iCloud Keychain on an additional device. Test.
Step 2
If you still have problems, uncheck the Keychain box again and continue.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
~/Library/Keychains
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
A folder named "Keychains" should open. Inside it is a subfolder with a long name similar to (but not the same as) this:
421DE5CA-D745-3AC1-91B0-CE5FC0ABA128
The above is only an example; yours will have a different name of the same general form. Drag the subfolder (not the Keychains folder) to the Trash and empty.
Restart the computer and re-enable iCloud Keychain.

Keep keychain login keeps requesting

Had trouble turning on computer. Then when I got it on recieved multiple key chain password requests. Still not able to get in to mail , icloud messaging. Any suggestions.

In Mavericks the "reset keychain" is in Preferences>General
not a perfect solution.

Keychain login disable ?

can I disable the keychain login ?
Suddenly this pops up every time I restart my iMac

http://superuser.com/questions/276496/osx-disable-keychain-password-prompts

How do I stop repeated requests for keychain login?

Every few minutes my iMac asks for the keychain login password - I enter the password and the box goes away. A few minutes later something else (such as Safari or Calendar) asks for it. This carries on throughout the day, the same series of items in rotation asking for the login.
My keychain login is the same as the computer login (this was fixed by a helpful Genius at an Apple store when an unknown login password was blocking the whole system - but now this has happened). Has anyone got any clues? It's just very annoying.

I *think* this has solved the problem - I'm not quite sure if what I did was what you recommended but I think it was (and I seem to have set up a Keychain access code in the process of trying to find the right folder) - I haven't had a pop-up for a while.
If that's done the trick, a big thank you! (Lugging a heavy computer to an over-busy Apple store again averted)

Safari requests keychain.login constantly!

I just bought a 17" Macbook Pro and am new to Tiger 10.4.7. I don't understand keychain. I have an administrator password to log on to my computer. If I go online, Safari keeps popping up a log-in box and asks for my "keychain.login." I type my administrator password, which is all I have, but it says it's incorrect! If I just cancel the pop-up, it goes away--I'm not restricted or anything. Does this happen to everyone who uses Safari? Am I supposed to have a separate password for keychain? If not,is there some way to make it stop asking for this? It is very annoying. Thanks for any help you can give me with this issue.

Thanks for all of the suggestions. I might have solved the issue for now. I created a standard user account to be separate from my admin account and discovered that whenever I use Safari as a standard user, it never asks for my keychain! It's wonderful. I will try your suggestions in my admin account though and see if any will work. Thanks again.

Can't disable automatic login (wifi) in Mt. Lion 10.8.4

Dear all, why i can't disable automatic login in Mt. Lion 10.8.4??
i'm using a MBP 2.4Ghz/Intel core i5 / late 2011 model, running 10.8.4
each time i turn the wifi on and select the name of network, it will automatically login without asking my password, (I just want it ask me for password every time coz i don't want the password stay on the computer!)
and i had did the following already but the nightmare still go on, please kindly let me know if the issue can be fix? thanks a lot!!!
1. network panel : click advance and remove all network names in the window, and unchecked the box "Remember networks this computer has joined".
2. Security Panel : selected "Disable automatic login"
3. Users & Groups panel : Automatic login : selected "off"
4.inside the Library / Preferences folder : "com.apple.loginwindow.plist", "com.apple.airport.preferences.plist" & " NetworkInterfaces.plist" all are deleted
thanks again!!!

Open Keychain Access and locate the entry for the network logon, select the entry and press the Delete key. That will remove the password from your Keychain and the system will have to request your password to log onto the network. Note: keychain entries are securely encrypted so even if someone has access to your computer, it would be highly unlikely they would be able to retrieve the network password.

How do I set a default to never allow access to my contacts and stop the popup requests on every website?

Since last few Nightly updates, I am getting one or more (one site had 5 domains) popup requests similar to "Allow ad.doubleclick.net to access your contacts? [] Don't ask for this site again. Allow access Don't allow access .... This is getting really annoying. If you are going to add this capability to Firefox, please add a default config setting to always deny access and stop the popups.

It is in the process of being disabled. It will likely be some time next week before the code will be reverted.

Login popup when trying to view the KM documents

Hello Everybody,
We have uploaded some of the Word documents on KM in portal and created links in the KM fo rthe same documents.
Now, we have creted KM link iview on portal to display these links on the screen.
The purpose of above to provide the help documents for perticular application on portal.
Issue is:
when we login to portal using HTTPs and access the help documents, first it gives the popup to either open or save the document.
If user clicks on Open, then it shows the login popup for the portal. If i provide login details and click ok then it opens the document.
If i don't provide the details and simply click on cancel then also it opens the document.
From the network team, i came to know why this login pop up is comnig.
There is something called WebDAV protocol which is supported in KM in portal.
So, when we open the document from the portal, microsoft office document tries to connect to the system to check whether i have permissions to edit this document locally or not. So, even though i cancel it, i allows me to view the document.
Now concern is, we are going to present these documents to the users just for view purpose and login pop up should not come.
Do we have any settings or configuration on the portal from where we can ignore and document should nto check for the permissions to edit locally? If there is some configuration and if we can disable it then i would think document will not ask for the login pop up.
If somebody come across such scenario then please help me to resolve this issue.
Thanks,
Bhavik

Hi Bhavik,
I am not sure if the following advice is fixing your issue but it is worth to check: In the section "Activities" in the following link to
[Documentation |http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/7d/236cfa17034a37a439dc392ec59eb0/frameset.htm] there is guidance what entries in the URL Generator Service should be replaced. This conversion also suppresses the basic authentication messages when opening MS Office documents.
In standard deliveries these entries are already replaced like described, only for portals that are running since a long time and were upgraded step by step, the replacement might still be needed.
kind regards,
Anja

I forgot my keychain login password

I don't remember my keychain password (the one you use to unlock the keychain and stuff). I've tried a bunch of different passwords that I use...like my admin. password but it doesn't work...how can I reset it or recover it? thanks
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

> I was interested to note your comment about being unable to reset the login keychain password after resetting the admin password on a computer with the install disk.
Resetting your login password with the install disc does not reset the login keychain password. When creating a login account and password, the password for the account's login keychain is the same as the login account password. If you want the login keychain password to be different, you must change it via Keychain Access. Changing the login account's password via an install disc does not change the login keychain password for the login account. I believe this is for security reasons. Although a thief can gain access to a person's login account and home folder/directory by using an install disc to manually change the login password for the account, this does not change the login keychain password also so sensitive data stored in a person's keychain cannot be accessed without knowing the original login account password that matches the original login keychain password.
1. If you require password to wake this computer from sleep or screen saver, someone can't. To have your keychain extra secure, you can also make your login keychain password different from your login password but if your login password is not the same as your default keychain password, you'll be asked for the password whenever an application needs access to your keychain and your keychain is locked - but this would be more trouble than it is worth IMO.
2. Same as the answer to 1.
3. Someone can't if you disable automatic login for your login account which is highly recommended. Even though I currently live alone, I have automatic login disabled for my login account. If someone steals my PB and has access to an install disc to manually change the password for my login account, they can gain access to all my data in my home folder/directory but not gain access to sensitive data stored in my login keychain which is not automatically changed when manually changing the login password with an install disc.
This is also where utilizing an encrypted disk image comes into play to store sensitive data but to be extra secure, you should not store the password for an encrypted disk image in your keychain. My encrypted disk images require that I manually enter the password to mount the encrypted disk images but the downside when doing so is if you forget the password for the encrypted disk image, all data stored within the disk will be lost with no way to recover it.
Overall it is probably best to store the password for an encrypted disk image in your keychain but if you give someone else access to your Mac when logged in to your account, any encrypted disk image will mount automatically when selected which is also why it is best not to allow anyone else to access your Mac via your login account.

Why am I constantly asked for keychain login details

It's really irratating when you are typing and pick your head up constantly to find a request for a keychain login and you've been typing in a box and getting nowhere. I thought keychain login was supposed to work in the background to your benefit??

Hello SteveWilliams41,
It sounds like the Keychain keeps popping up over and over even though you are putting your password in correctly. I recommmend these steps to help troubleshoot your Keychain:
Open Keychain Access, and then locate and delete the mail account password item.While in Keychain Access, you can also choose Keychain Access > Keychain First Aid to verify and repair keychain settings.
Open Disk Utility, and then select the volume (for your hard disk or disks) in the list of disks and volumes. Click First Aid and then click Verify Disk. If necessary, click Repair Disk. Then send yourself a test message.

Annoying Login Popup Window

I'm not sure if this was already reported but ever since I updated my iTunes I'm getting this annoying popup window that asks me for my login credential to login to the iTunes store. I simply hated it. Why would I want to login to the store if all I want to do is play some music?
Is there a way to diable this popup? I tried a few options suggested on other websites but nothing worked for me. The popup shows up twice. It's like Apple is so desprate to sell something....
This feature is really dumb and anti-consumer because it's "forcing" us to login to buy something. If I want to buy a new album or movie I'll login, but after all this app is to play music (or movie) and for that I don't have to login anywhere.

I found the solution to my problem. I'm going to share it here so that others know what to do, if they don't like the idiotic login popup...
I got the Little Snitch application that showed me iTunes it trying to connect to ax.init.itunes.apple.com on port 80. I blocked that URL and problem went away. iTunes no longer tries to connect to the store because it thinks there's no Internet connections....
With Little Snitch you can add this URL to a single session, meaning that after you restart iTunes you'll have to block the above URL again. Or, you can add it to the "block forever" list. But then you won't be able to go to the store at all. Solution? You can temporarily disable Little Snitch, or remove the URL from the list of all blocked URLs under the "Rules" menu item. You will, of course, have to block that URL again, when you done.
The End.
