Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I use several Macs (office, home, notebook). I noticed that when I add a new account in "Internet Accounts" on one of the Macs, it may appear on another Mac or may not even if I'm signed in iClouds with the same Apple ID. I wonder how I can control whether a newely added Internet Account is shared across all my Macs.
Sorry for a trivial question, but I could not find any info on this.
Hey there zornie,
It sounds like the features you are describing are part of iCloud Keychain.
iCloud Keychain can also keep the accounts you use in Mail, Contacts, Calendar, and Messages up to date across all of your Macs. If you're signed in to Facebook, Twitter, Linked In, or any other accounts in Internet Accounts on OS X Mavericks, iCloud can push those accounts to your Macs as well.
From: iCloud: Frequently asked questions about iCloud Keychain
If you would like one of your devices to not automatically have accounts setup with iCloud Keychain, you would have to turn off the feature in your settings.

That explains it. Thanks. For some reason, I though that Keychain is only for passwords.
My pleasure!
How are "Internet Accounts" shared across Macs?
