What is PrivateEncryptedDataK password?

It is a completely unacceptable side effect of installing Adobe AIR.

The fix:

1) Uninstall Adobe AIR.

2) Go to Keychain Manager.

3) Remove all PrivateEncryptedDatak keychains (on the left).

I should also note that saved passwords that Adobe AIR seems to have moved into the PrivateEncryptedDatak keychain will be gone after you delete them; they aren't duplicates. This means you will have to re-enter passwords that your computer has been memorizing for you.

It may be possible to move these out of PrivateEncryptedDatak before deleting the PrivateEncryptedDatak keychain.

I've just found this thread while trying to investigate a saved password in Tweetdeck ... it's all working fine (my problem is that I can't remember it, so can't enter it into another installation of Tweetdeck - and the "I've forgotten my password" doesn't seem to want to email me the p/w ... yet trying to set up an account with the same email address tells me [unsurprisingly!] that I can't have that email address as it's already taken!)

So, as it's all working fine - do I need to remove it? Won't it just re-create one when it needs it, or will it store it in some other bit of the Keychain??
