How do I disable Keychain

I was reading through this forum 'cause keychain drives me mad every time I restart my Mac. Today flavor of madness was my Lync client connected to my corporate O365 account was giving me the obstinately recurring keychain popups.

following your advise, I just trashed the Oc_Container... file in the library\keychains\ folder and Lync reset to the current active O365 password.

Now, I';m going to go trash all the other keychains and start from scratch.

Thanks WildinPunk

I have just turned off my keychain in my account settings, but that doesn't seem to stop the pop-ups from happening at all. I'm not sure how to resolve the issue. I had the keychain when I was using El Captain and it worked perfectly, now that I updated (On accident mind you) It has made my system slower, and my laptop hot, and these **** keychain pop-ups every two minutes or less. If this is what having 'Free' Updates are going to get us I would much rather pay out the $40 for a solid well running upgrade that I know will make my system run better. This is starting to remind of when I used Windows....😠

I am very confused here. If they do not know their password.... then how are they getting e-mail?

You don't want to do that. Besides being the location for passwords, Keychain stores numerous certificates, which are needed to verify the authenticity of secure (https/SSL) connections.

WildinPunk, that was a great tip, worked perfectly to put to death in 10 seconds the incessant password prompts that were driving my daughter crazy on her account. You are our hero of the day!

However, if one does that, they lose all their saved keychains and passwords.

Why does Apple not offer a tool to automatically sync the login password with the keychain password when Active Directoy needs to be used? Maybe add a button "Sync with AD" in the user account area?

Or add a feature to the keychain to sync the keychain password with the AD server password?

Thanks WildinPunk, it work for me also.

In answer to Baltwo, use Last Pass (for Mac) for all your passwords. Far more compreehensive than keychain. I hope I have disabled it according to ComputerGeek147.

Why? I have no issues with using the built-in keychain mechanism.

Hey, PaperStars -- that didn't work at all. What Mac product do you have?

Great thank you very much - perfect solution!!

Best,
