What is "Messages Agent" and how do I get rid of it? Upon startup a window appears statin that messages agent wants to use the login keychain and wants a password. It won't go away I have tried every password that I can think of and it will not take any. Also I don't use the "Keychain"
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.2)
Same problem with one of my friends after they upgraded to Mavericks.
This question, "What is Messages Agent?" has been up for over a year and no one has come up with an answer? Wow. Is it malware?
Thanks for your reply, but
a) I don't use iChat
b) I am not going to enter my password if I don't know what it will be used for
Does anyone know what Message Agent is or why it wants my password? I don't trust that it is from Apple if it does not explain what it is or why it wants my password. And if it is from Apple, I can't understand why it is optional to enter the password.
I don't use Facetime, Facebook, Messages, or iChat ( a previous OS), but everything I've seen, it is related to one or all of those apps (which makes sense as they are all the same kind of app).

why it is optional to enter the password.
If you want it to remember and automatically enter your password, it will do that for you. It is your option to decide.
