Keychain password corrupt

All of a sudden, I am getting the message that my keychain password is not correct when I attempt to enter it. If I am using Chrome and click cancel, it fills in my saved password anyway. If I open the keychain access program, and attempt to see any of the passwords in this specific keychain, (not my login keychain) it tells me my password is incorrect. No one knows this password but me, I didn't change it and it was working fine yesterday. I have passwords in this keychain that I need to be able to see. I'm not sure what to do. I've already gone into time machine and restore the keychain that was there just prior to one change that was made to it yesterday.

I just discovered my problem, for some reason, one of my shift keys is not working with only one letter. So, I actually have a different problem.

How do I get rid of keychain popups? I never set a keychain password.

Keychain popups happen CONSTANTLY since I got back from the Apple store when a manufacturer error required a hard drive replacement. I can't sign in to iMessage - although my password works to log me in to the computer, I get a keychain message immediately when trying to log in to iMessage. I get keychain messages almost continually through the day - 50x/day approximately. They vary in what they say.
One of the many says "A keychain cannot be found to store registration v1". There are several other messages which I can't remember. I have tried a few of the ways recommended here. Oops, another one just popped up.
Here is the sequence: "A keychain cannot be found to store KADiAdIDStorageKey."
When I click "Reset to Defaults", it asks if I'm sure about that.
I hit "Reset" get another popup:
"Please enter your login password. This will be used to create your new keychain."
I enter my Apple ID password and hit OK.
Now a new popup appears: "iTunes wants to use the "local items" keychain". Enter password.
I enter my Apple ID password and it wiggles (wrong password).
I have to hit cancel to make it go away.
It pops up, or "Mail wants to use the "local oems" keychain" pops up. I have to continually hit "cancel" all day long to stop these things.
PLEASE HELP ME!!! I never set up a keychain password, don't know what it is, don't want it, don't need added security, never had this problem for the first year that I owned this thing.
Thank you.

It doesn't want your Apple ID password. It wants your computer's admin account password that you use to log into the computer.
Tutorial: Resolving Keychain Issues
If you can't access your keychain, or forget your password If you can't get into your keychain file because you've forgotten your password or the keychain file appears to be corrupt, there are a couple of options.
First, if you've forgotten your password, you can use the "Keychain First Aid" utility to make the keychain password the same as the login password. This can be accomplished via the following process:
1. Open Keychain Access (located in Applications/Utilities)
2. Go to the "Keychain Access" menu and select "Preferences"
3. Click the "First Aid" tab
4. Make sure the "Synchronize login keychain password" box is checked
5. Close the Preferences window
6. Go to the "Keychain Access" menu and select "Keychain First Aid"
7. Enter your username and password
8. Click the "Repair" button
The second option is to completely delete your keychain then recreate it. This routine is useful if your keychain appears to be corrupt or otherwise inaccessible. This can be accomplished as follows:
1. Launch Keychain Access (located in Applications/Utilities)
2. Click "Show Keychains" in the lower-left corner of the window.
3. Select the problematic keychain from the left-hand pane.
4. Navigate to the "File" menu and select "Delete Keychain '(name of keychain)'"
5. Check all options for deletion and press "OK"
6. Create a new keychain by going to the "File" menu, then "New" and selecting
"New Keychain"
7. You can now make this keychain your default if you desire by selecting it, then
going to the "File" menu and selecting "Make '(name of keychain)' Default"
Login as root and perform repair In some cases, problems with keychains can only be resolved when logged in as the root user.
First, you want to enable the root user:
1. OS X Mountain Lion: Enable and disable the root user
2. OS X Lion: Enable and disable the root user
3. Mac OS X 10.6: Enabling the root user
4. Enabling and using the "root" user in Mac OS X
After enabling the root user, and logging in under this account, again open Keychain Access. First attempt repairs using Keychain First Aid, and failing that, delete then recreate the keychain as described above while logged in as root.
Persistently asked for stored passwords If you are persistently asked for passwords in various applications that you have specified should be remembered in a keychain, your "login" keychain may not be active for one reason or another.
Navigate to ~/Library/Keychains/ (this is the Library folder inside your user's home folder). Find the file named "login.keychain" and double-click it.
Failing that, select the "login" keychain within the Keychain Access application and make sure it is the default keychain by going to the "File" menu and selecting "Make 'Login' Default"
Turn off Keychain synchronization in applications having problems If specific applications are experiencing issues when accessing password-protected material, the Keychain may be to blame.
The above comes from an article published on MacFixit.com.

How do I find out my keychain password? Need more info fast about this

My computer started to get really slow, so I looked what I could do to make it faster again. After searching I found that the safari content was high and that I should delete it to make it less laggy and slow. Long story short I ended up deleting my saved passwords on safari...Looking into more info, I found out that I needed to get to Keychain Access. I got to Keychain access, found all the passwords.
My question..
•How do I get them out of Keychain?
•If I end up needing my password for Keychain, how do I find that out? I have the like start up CD, but I dont remember ever making a password.
•And if I do retreive my Keychain Password some how, will that delete everything stored in Keychain? I would have just tried it, but its a lot of passwords I CAN NOT lose...
Please help :/
Thanks!

This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Unable to type in the "login" keychain password

When I switch on my iMac G5 I am asked for my keychain password: but I can't type in the space provided. I can still use the computer normally, e-mail, internet etc. are all unaffected but the pop-up box asking for the keychain password won't go away, (and won't allow me to type in the password).
The message I get is, "com.apple.internetaccounts.xpc wants to use the "login" keychain"

Only thing that got me around this was a clean install of Mavericks on the new Mac and , when I used migration assistant, avoiding transferring the network settings. It was my mother in law's Mac so I essentially only transferred her documents and mail messages. I then went back later and manually transferred the music and photos. I ' knew' there was some issue with the OS itself because I had tried to clone the old system with Super Duper as an extra back up and even that balked with an error. Shrit Pocket Supprt read the error file and it was they who divined that that my "old" copy of OSX was corrupted. Plus I was umm more familiar with this scenario as this was the second Mac that I was having this issue with. Admittedly both the upgrades in question were from Macs that had been transferred and transferred and transferred etc so I am not surprised that there was something crappy that had got passed through. Bottom line: clean install of Mavericks then manually move over what you need is the cleanest way in this scenario unfortunately. Yes a whole lotta work!

Constant Email password corruption in System Prefs in locked PP/ E panel

My Internet Connection keeps going off. Frequent calls to the Help Desk have led to the same conclusion--my email password--the one that is entered in the PPofE panel that I keep locked within System Preferences--keeps getting corrupted.
This happens each time I reboot, and, sporatically--several times each week--either when I am working or when the machine is on, but I am away from it .
I am at a loss to understand this because the panel is locked and I have to enter my machine password each time I re-enter my email password to get things started up again.
Any suggestions will be welcome. Thanks.

Hi Susan,
Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Window Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over.

Safari Keychain Password

Hello,
My k0mp00ter skillz arent goodly.
I'm migrating over from IE to Safari, and everytime I look up, there's a pop up, asking for my keychain password. Well, I have no clue WTH it is. I dont ever remember messing with Safari to make a password. As of right now, Safari is letting me do whatever I need, but that **** pop up is annoying.
Is there a way to reset my Safari Keychain thingie, so I know for sure what my password is? Is there a way I can go digging in Macintosh HD to find the password. Should I shoot my Mac?
Regards,
Brian

Hi Oly
did you do this, from the helper in keychainaccess
2nd option for safari keychain autofill:
( Deleting a keychain
If your keychain has become inaccessible for some reason (for example, if you've forgotten the password), you can delete it and manually create a new keychain.
When you delete the keychain, you have two options:
▪ Delete References removes the keychain from the keychain list but does not remove the keychain file from your disk. If you remember your password later, you can recover the items stored in the keychain by choosing File > Add Keychain and opening this file.
➔ ▪ Delete References & Files removes the keychain from the keychain
list and removes the file from your disk. You might choose this if the
file is corrupted or damaged in some way and you don't want to recover it
1) Open Keychain Access, located in Applications/Utilities.
2) Click Show Keychains if the keychain drawer is closed, then select the keychain you want to delete.
3) Choose File > Delete "keychain" (the command will show the name of the selected keychain).
4) Click Delete References or Delete References & Files. )
Also what happens if you Un-check "Autofill items in Safari preferences?

Keychain and corruption

Having lost a couple of hard disks to system software errors I am worried that I am more and more reliant on Keychain.
I can't find any discussion on how likely it is to get corrupted and before I put my whole life in it's hands I'd like to know what can be done to safeguard my data [I am already using Time Machine].
Cheers, Colin

Thanks for that.
I guess that I'd know instantly if Keychain was corrupted as there would be no such thing as partial corruption.
It is not only the passwords I depend on it for, but also for lots of other bits and pieces one needs beside the password. I'm thinking of getting 1Password to create more secure individual passwords and assume that it is no more vulnerable than Keychain itself.
Oddly I've not found any discussions (outside Apple) on either the security, or robustness, of Keychain.
Cheers, Colin

"login" Keychain password no longer accepted

Huge trouble with Sync, MobileMe, Address Book and a bunch of other things:
My "login" keychain password is no longer accepted!
How do I reset it?
Please help. Thanks!

I've tried that. It brings up a dialogue box that says:
"Keychain Access wants to use the "login" keychain. Please enter the keychain password."
I enter the password and it rejects it, saying "Sorry, you entered an invalid password. Please try again."
This is the only password I've used on this computer: it appears that at some point, the login password has been reset or become corrupted.
Thanks, though, baltwo. I appreciate the suggestion. Any other ideas?

Keychain password questions

I've gotten used to most of OS X since my slow, late conversion to it two years ago, but its security arrangements still drive me nuts. I don't need them. I have no security concerns about my Powerbook. No master password is set on it. I'm the only user, except on occasions when I set up a new user for test purposes and then delete it. I know the admin password for my usual account, obviously, though I've set the PB up to log me in automatically on startup.
But somehow I've lost track of the password for my keychain(s), which I thought was the same password. I don't really understand what a keychain is, to be honest, and whenever I'm prompted to enter my password for it, I have to cancel out of the dialog box because nothing I can think of to enter is correct. I live in dread that one of these days I'm going to have to know that darn password. So, these questions:
1. Can I set a new password for a keychain without knowing the old one?
2. If not, can I delete a keychain completely without knowing the password, and what am I likely to lose if I do so?
(I regret to say that I find the online Mac Help's information on keychains almost completely opaque. Maybe it's just my anxiety getting in the way.)
3. When I open Keychain Access and click "Show Keychains", two keychains appear: one with my username, which contains three certificates, three application passwords and an internet password; and another called system, which contains only my Airport network password. I've successfully deleted two or three entries that were outdated and superfluous from my user-account keychain, but I have no idea how much trouble I'd be in if I deleted all the rest. To add to my confusion, I get prompted for my admin password when I want to delete things from the keychain — not my keychain password. Can anybody point me toward a clear, cogent explanation of keychains and how to get them under my control instead of being at their mercy? Many thanks...

Turn off Keychain synchronization in applications having problems If specific applications are experiencing issues when accessing password-protected material, Keychain may be to blame.
For example, it appears that in some cases, failures in .Mac synchronization transfers are linked to issues with Keychain.
If you are having problems synchronizing data with .Mac servers, you may want to try the following process:
Open System Preferences and access the .Mac pane
Click the "Sync" tab
Uncheck the "Synchronize with .Mac" checkbox
Close System Preferences
Re-open System Preferences and repeat steps 1 and 2
Re-check the "Synchronize with .Mac" checkbox
If the above process does not re-allow synchronization, you may need to leave Keychain synchronization turned off in the "Sync" tab of the .Mac System Preferences pane.
MacFixIt reader Faisal writes:
"I believe the problem may be related to Keychain sync overwriting or mangling the .Mac information in the Keychain. By disabling Keychain sync I seem to be able to sync again without issue."
A keychain is simply a secured database in which you can store userids and passwords securely. OS X integrates most applications to the Keychain so that when a userid and/or password is requested the Keychain fills in the information automatically unless you've elected otherwise. This is especially useful when accessing secure web sites so you don't have to remember every username and password you've assigned.
When you create a new account a new keychain file is created for that account. The account password is the default password used for the keychain so when you log into the account the associated keychain is opened automatically.

Keychain password request on login

When I log in (admin account) I am asked for my keychain password. I'm not sure why?
When I enter my password (my login password) I am told that iti is invalid. I looked in the Help (a bit!) and it said the keychain password was the same as the Login password. If that's not the case, which password would it be as I haven't set any others up. Have I??
iBook 1.42Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Your keychain password is usually the same as your login password, but it doesn't have to be. You can manually set the keychain password to be different, or in some situations it can become "out of sync".
Have you perhaps had to reset your password by booting from the install CD? Or have you logged in to another admin account and then used Sys.Prefs to change the password of the account that now has the problem?
In either of the above cases the login password will be changed but the keychain password will not. In those cases the keychain password will still be the original password it had before the change. So you might try using a previous password when prompted by the keychain to see if it works.
If you can discover the keychain password, then you can use Keychain Access to change it's password to match your login password. Then it will unlock automatically when you login and you'll stop getting prompted.
I suppose it's also possible that the keychain password may have become corrupt in some way. If this is the case you may be out of luck.
If you can't get the keychain unlocked after attempting any previous passwords, then you'll likely have to simply delete the keychain and let the system create a new one (which will be created with your login password).
In your home folder, go to ~/Library/Keychains and drag "login.keychain" out of the folder. Then logoff and log back in. This should create a new empty keychain for you and it should be "in sync" with your login password.

Keychain password being overwritten- "Ha2S+eOKqmzA6nrlmTeh7w=="

I am happily using keychain on many websites. I wanted to set it up to work on my router(s) to have fast access to them.
However, when I use the AutoGenerate Password function to generate a key "***-***-***-***" this works for a few minutes then stops working.
When I open up Keychain access and show password it has CHANGED from the original apple suggested one and now shows "Ha2S+eOKqmzA6nrlmTeh7w==" which does not work, is not the original one and is not the suggested one in the 'apple' format.
This is only happening on the router access page which I am now locked out of and I will need to completely reset and configure from scratch.
Does anyone know how or why this one password is being corrupted on my mac?
Using OS yosemite 10.10.2 Mac Pro 13.

Thanks for your quick response.
I followed the steps suggested. Repair found nothing wrong. Removed and added keychain to both Macbook and iPhone6+. Still showing the crazy password ""Ha2S+eOKqmzA6nrlmTeh7w==" (which does not work, and neither does the default admin admin) instead of the apple format one I chose and which worked briefly. So it must be in there somewhere!
I am thinking it relates to the modem firmware which might not 'take' safari entered password changes/caching. This is the only website or password I have this problem but it is the 'modem admin change password sign in' page which may have hacker protection. Seems unlikely that Keychain would have something allowing 'blow-back' of a different password. Maybe it is encryption or decryption of the actual password..? The nonsense looks a bit like a keychain password with some extra characters.. H2S OKA 6IT 7 but that's clutching at straws...
Thanks for your help,
DH

MacBook Air suddenly doesn't recognize my keychain passwords. Now iCloud, Safari and anything associated (including Systems Preferences) won't work. Plz help - any ideas?

The only thing I can think that I've done differently is that I'd downloaded a scanner driver from Canon. Everything worked fine for days after that. It wasn't until I shut down the computer and restarted it that I keep getting these prompts to enter keychain passwords and it rejects the only passwords I've ever used. No idea what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated! :-)

I just found the fix in another post! Here it is, in case anyone has the same issue...
