Keychain Access

I have one file in keychain I can’t erase: KeychainPersistentIdentifierCanaryPersistentidentifier.


My Mac states its an application password.

I read on Apple Community that it was a virus. I took my laptop to an Apple Store to get cleaned out. I got it back the same night I picked up my Mac.


What is it?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 13.1
