How do you update Keychain passwords

I'm fairly new to the Keychain app, so when you initially set-up a new Keychain password, how do you update the password when it changes?
I know this can be done via Keychain Access eg double clicking the item and entering a new password, is this the only way of doing it?

I think you mean a Keychain items' password. Not the main Keychain application's.
In this case if you obtain the username and password from Keychain into a pre-filled form, you may change the password in the form and then the Keychain application will ask you for confirmation.

  • The Nike  webstie made me change my password; now my iTunes account can't link my runs. How can I update the password in iTunes?

    Nike+ forced me to change my password to one which had a capital, lower case and number in it ... all very well BUT iTunes can now not link my iPod runs to the Nike+ website as the passwords are different. How do I update the password in iTunes? I have tried unchecking the "sync" option and checking it again but can see no option to update email and / or password.

    Did you go on-line and fix your billing information? You probably need to do this from iTunes on your computer, not your phone.
    If you've double checked your credit card info and it still won't take it, contact your card issuer.

  • How do you update your email address on iCloud?

    How do you update to a new email address on the cloud on iPhone and iPad?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple,  Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
    If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.
