Keychain

I don't like keychain, as some others here also don't. I tried avoiding using it, because I don't like having to manage additional passwords (already too many). Somehow, keychain is now repeatedly popping up all the time asking for me to log into keychain when I access adobe, powerpoint, outlook client, etc. It is insane. Maybe I accidentally entered a keychain login and password at some point, but now I don't even remember that. How to I reset or remove this thing?????

Hi, please explain how storing the passwords in Keychain causes more work than writing them down or whatever then hand entering them???


Seems you're fighting the ease of it. :)


If your Mac keeps asking for the login keychain password...
