Q: I keep getting Keychain prompt when running an app, how to I get rid of it?

I keep getting this prompt running Steam Game PinballArcade with Mac OSX Maverick and I click Always Allow, I navigate in the games menu and keeps prompting for this, driving me nuts!

PinballArcadeSteam wants to use your confidential information stored in "com.farsightstudios.osx.pinballarcadesteam" in your keychain. Do you want to allow access to this item? "Always Allow" "Deny" "Allow"

Clicking Always Allow it still brings up this prompt... please help me provide a workaround as I'm not getting anywhere with the steam/pinballarcade community support.

Mac mini (Mid 2011), OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)

Try running Keychain First Aid and resetting the original keychain.

Keychain Reset

I finally resolved on my own... this is what I had to do.

1. Keychain Access (use spotlight on right to search for it)
2. Under "Category" select "Passwords"
3. You will notice about 6 entries "com.farsight...pinballarcadesteam", doublce click each one and change the following: "Allow all applications to access this item" and save changes for all of them.
4. Launch game and no more annoying prompts!
