There’s two areas you can go to clean up data within keychain:


  • go to preferences within Safari and delete any old / unused password - this will delete them from the iCloud Keychain if you have this
  • be careful what you delete with this - go into the keychain app on your mac and you can delete items within the iCloud Keychain. I wouldn’t play around with anything in the system or login keychain though.
