Hi formentini


 Find it in the list without searching and then delete them!

That should solve your issue, there is a bug in the search option.


Please check the padlock against the keychain item list on the far left is unlocked, locked items will not delete.

hello and tx :)


1- i am sure the chain is not locked, cause i have successfully deleted another entry ;-)

2- if i dont filter in the search, and leave the full list then, i dont see the entries under the keychain "login" but only the ones under "icloud". Problem is: the entries i want to kill are ALL under login :( so i just cannot locate them.... this is pretty dumm but it looks so... (atatched the screen shots)

ok, i must be too stupid.

i understand the full sentence and visualise what it shall do.

but where do i find the "login to the far left" ?

i am too stupid to find that. which menu is that ?

somewhere in the keychain window ?

or on the general menu of the mac ?

really sorry to ask such a basic question, i have clicked all the far left (not the far west ;) possible, never seen any unlock...

You need to find the keychains that the items relate to in the screenshots you posted;

Select view from the keychain access app menu and click show keychains:

login

icloud

system

system roots


When you right mouse click the keychain login name a menu should pop up with options.

From the screenshots it looks like your sidebar is missing - I have a sidebar on my keychain access app

I am running Catalina 10.15.7


You're not stupid it's just very late in the day!
