Hello,
Since I upgraded to Catalina my KeychainAccess is just not responsive. It opens, but starts loading constantly, making it unresponsive and stuck. It cannot be used, and I have to force quit it. I wouldn't like having to reset my Default Keychains because it will delete all my stored data which I can't afford.
I searched and found no similar problems on forums. Anyone else having this?
Thanks.
MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.15
Hello Flick037,
I understand Keychain Access is taking a long time to load on your Mac. I'd like to see if I can help you get it working like you expect it to.
Quitting the app was a good first step. Next try restarting your Mac: How to turn your Mac on or off. Reset the SMC if Keychain Access still isn't loading after you restart: How to reset the SMC of your Mac. This type of reset can help address system performance issues and it wont erase any data on your Mac. Respond back if you continue to experience the same thing. Let me know if this issue occurs with any apps other then Keychain Access too.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care.

UPDATE:
Few days after SMC restart things got back to chaos. Safari blocked every time it stumbles upon some autofill form as well.
After hours of research, I decided to create a new Keychain, make it default and delete old one with all my passwords from previous 6 years.
I solved the issue the hard way very disappointed :(
Hello,
Thanks for your reply and help.
I did the SMC reset and it fixed my issue. Keychain access still takes around 2 minutes just to open, but issues with its total unresponsiveness (constant rainbow loader) is fixed.
Thank you!
