VPN connection and keychain access

Right it is asking to access an entry in your login keychain as per the - enter the "login" keychain password. The password for this keychain is normally the same as the one you use to login to your computer. If you have the computer screen saver configured to ask for a password when you wake it, it will be that same password.

This is nothing to do with AppleIDs it is the computer login password.

The dialog box you are seeing should indicate the name of the specific keychain it is trying to access, I would guess this will be your 'login' keychain.

Every user account has at least the following two keychains automatically created when the user account is created.

• login
• 'local items' (this is how it is listed but the corresponding filename is a long UUID type number)

Many programs will store their credentials in the login keychain but Apple's own programs will generally use the 'local items' keychain i.e. Mail, Calendar, etc.

The passwords for these keychains are normally the same as your user password for logging in to the computer. Occasionally they can get out of sync for example if you have reset the password for your user account, in which case trying the old password is worth doing.

So try the following.

1. Confirm which keychain is being asked for
2. If login or 'local items' try your user login password, try clicking the 'always allow' button rather than the 'allow' button so you don't keep being asked each time
