Q: Keychain: Does not enter password where needed. Help!

I come to a web page and want to create a passoword. Safari suggests a strong password and to save it in Keychain. I accept, but when I come back to the web page later, Safari does not enter the password and I don't know the password because is was set by Keychain. Very frustrating. Ron

you can see your password.

Choose Safari > Preferences, then click Passwords.
Select the website whose password you want to view.
Select the “Show passwords for selected websites” checkbox.
Enter your system password.

Try running Keychain First Aid and resetting the original keychain.

I've noticed on some websites if the Username is on one page and the Password is on a second page. Then KeyChain won't work that way.
