A "Keychain cannot be found to store"

My Mac keeps jumping out of wifi and I get this message when it does this. I have no idea what this means. I add it back in but out it comes again.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.6

Hi there maltipoo,


If you are seeing this message when connecting to a specific Wi-Fi network, let's remove the keychain for this network in Keychain Access and add it back since that can stop this message from continually appearing. These steps from Delete a keychain in Keychain Access on Mac show how:

Delete a keychain
1. In the Keychain Access app  on your Mac, if your keychains aren’t visible, choose Window > Keychain Access.
2. Select a keychain in the Keychains list.
3. Choose File > Delete Keychain [keychain name].
4. Click Delete References.


Once you've deleted the keychain associated with the Wi-Fi network, restart your Mac and then connect to this Wi-Fi network with the password once more. If this continues to occur, let us know if this only happens with one specific Wi-Fi network or with other networks as well. That will allow us to continue to isolate this behavior.


Cheers!
