SnagitHelper keeps asking me for access to my KeyChain
SnagitHelper2022 keeps asking me for access to my KeyChain. I haven't granted access. Does anyone have any information about Snagit and KayChain.
Many thanks,

Keychain stores passwords. I found this article, which explains why it's asking for permission. Since I no nothing about Snagit personally, read this to see if you feel comfortable with their explanation --> https://support.techsmith.com/hc/en-us/articles/360023791532-Snagit-And-Keychain-Access
I have not used that app, but my reaction is: I would uninstall the app; there is no reason why an app needs access to your passwords to take a screenshot. Besides, you can take screenshots with a couple of key combinations within the OS (Command-Shift-4 is one of them). No need for a third party app especially if it is invasive.
I've had this happen with multiple apps, but especially with SnagItHelper and Affinity Photo. The only thing that resolved it was to upgrade to the latest versions of the apps that were giving me keychain trouble.
Interesting; I have the Affinity app and it's never asked me. Since I tend to not allow anything that I don't think essential or necessary, I'd still delete the app or send a note to the developer asking why it needs access to passwords.
Thank you. Yes, I’d seen that article. It’s written by TechSmith, the company that produces SnagIt. I’d be happier to have independent recommendation. SnagIt is used for screen shots and much more. It’s excellent. Been using it for several years. I’m just uncomfortable about granting access to KeyChain.
Thank you. I have the latest version of SnagIt. It asks for access to keychain when starting, which I always refuse. I use SnagIt frequently and find it useful. I'll take on board babowa's recommendation to use Mac's build in screenshot utility. If it serves my needs, I'll uninstall. Thanks again to all.
