Keychain Password Error -25293
Hello! I searched various topics before posting this to see if I could find an answer to my question, but to no avail. It always bugs me when someone asks a question that they could have found the answer to elsewhere if they had only looked a little harder...that having been said, if this HAS been answered somewhere already and I overlooked it, I apologize, and please direct me to that response!
I needed to remember the password for an application (Fetch) that has used autofill for the last few years. So I went into Keychain Access, found and opened the keychain, and clicked on "Show Password." I expected to have to enter my general Keychain password, but instead it asked me to type the password for Fetch, which is what I was looking for in the first place. I tried a few things that I thought it might be, and finally it restricted me from trying again.
Next, I went into Fetch, and noticed that it no longer used autofill, probably because it knew that I didn't enter the password correctly in Keychain. Here I tried another slew of passwords, until I finally remembered the correct one. So I selected "Add to Keychain" when I typed it again, then I received the Error -25293 message.
Upon opening Keychain and attempting to access that item again, I had to type in my general password. However, after correctly entering my general password I received the message "Access to this item is restricted," and I was no longer able to view the password. I tried deleting the keychain (but not its references, I hit the delete key instead of going into File > Delete Keychain login) and tried re-adding it through Fetch, but I'm getting the same error message. I've also tried repairing Keychain, and that hasn't helped.
Does anyone know either how I can add this keychain again in order for Fetch to use autofill, or know another way to solve my problem?
Thank you!
