Has anyone been able to retrieve a lost/forgotten keychain password? Thanks, Dave
iMac 27″, macOS 10.15
From If you need to update your keychain password on Mac - Apple Support:
"If you don’t remember your previous user password, you need to reset your default keychain."
That just means you will need to provide credentials again when asked. They will be added to the new Keychain.
Don’t have my Keychain password
