Q: In Keychain Access for Snow Leopard, I clicked on Never for This Site for several sites before I figured out that Keychaine is a good thing.  How do I undo this so I can save Login Names and Passwords for this sites?

I am using OSX Snow Leopard.  Being naturally paranoid about password security, long ago when I first bought my Macbook Pro (my first Mac, in fact), I clicked never for this site over and over in Safari when asked if I wanted to save Login ID and Password info.  I finally turned off the feature altogether in Safari.  I have now come to my senses, and have turned the feature back on in Safari and added Keychain access to my toolbar.  However, I have been unable to figure out how to get sites I previously pooh-poohed to ask to save password info.  I have tried manually adding the site info to Keychain Access.  I don't know where to go from here and after hours of searching have found no helpful posts out there.  Is there a fix or do I have to reset Keychain Access completely to the factory default and start over?

MacBook Pro (17-inch Mid 2010), Mac OS X (10.6.8)

    You are running an out-dated version of Safari, which no longer gets any security updates. So maybe your caution is warranted. If you use Firefox instead, you will have the benefit of regular security uodates. You can set a master password for Firefox (security settings), so that when you save user name and password info, you can access that info by using your master password for Firefox. If you visit a site for which you saved info, you enter the master password to have your info applied.
