Hello ria36,



Thanks for that info and for choosing the Apple Support Communities. If I understand correctly, you are seeing duplicate items in Keychain Access on your Mac. The good news is yes you can delete the duplicates, but you may want to temporarily export those items before deleting, so in case there is an issue after deleting you can import them again, and here are some Apple resources to help with this:
